Videos taken inside Atlanta airport used to blame shutdown on Democrats
USA TODAY
National Republicans are sharing videos from inside the Atlanta airport blaming the partial government shutdown on Democrats. Long lines continue.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest in the nation, if not the world. (Even if Chicago tries to take the title)
Hundreds of thousands of passengers pass through the gates, ride the SkyTrain and take off from the airport's five runways every week. Airport officials predict 350,000 travelers will pass through the airport between Thursday and Sunday this week.
But during the partial government shutdown, lines at TSA inside Hartsfield-Jackson have reached staggering lengths, even passing an hour and a half long on some days. Bad weather the past two weekends hasn't helped the situation as hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled, and passengers were at the whim of changing flight schedules.
Hartsfield-Jackson has also become a major talking point for Republicans in Congress and other GOP pundits as the debate over funding for the Department of Homeland Security drags on.
The long lines at TSA come as Congress is debating a funding bill that would once again pay the agents, along with other funding for parts of the Department of Homeland Security.
