Travelers Deserve Better Than Josh Riley’s Dangerous Shutdown

With the government shutdown in full swing, TSA is now sending out guidance to passengers, asking them to be patient while extended wait times pile up around the country.

Thanks to Josh Riley’s vote to shut down the government, air traffic controllers and TSA officers are working without pay, leading to delayed and cancelled flights, risks to airport security, and dangerous conditions at airports.

“Democrats like Josh Riley put partisan politics ahead of the safety and well being of, not only travelers, but also of government employees he’s expecting to work without pay. It is shameful Josh Riley voted to shut down the government and now all Americans are paying the price.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
