Getting Worse: Government Shutdown Forces Miami Airport to Close a Terminal
With more federal security screeners refusing to work without pay and due to staffing shortages caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown, Miami International Airport will close off one of its terminals starting this weekend and send TSA workers to busier checkpoints, a spokesman said Thursday night.

I guess it’s going to take a mid-air to get everyones’s attention in order to get these federal workers back to work? Any President that uses government workers as pawns in this way just to invoke a political fight that really nobody wants is severely tone deaf! Since we are speaking about airport/ TSA, ATC workers here, you have to ask yourself two questions: 1. The President had both houses of government and still could not get it done and 2. When both houses unanimously approved a bill to settle all this........Trump turned on everyone , classic juvenile baby trump. Stay tuned as his poorly educated white base sit around with dumb looks on their faces as he turns the USA into the very Shi#hole country he despises! To quote: “there are none so blind as those who will not see”! I’m done with this topic.
My understanding is that only one security checkpoint was closed, not an entire terminal. Pax could go to the next checkpoint and still access the terminal once through security. Still a pain for the passengers, though.
This clearly says the opposite - "Planes will still be able to drop off passengers at Terminal G throughout the day. But once the security checkpoint closes, outbound passengers will have no access to the gates and the restaurants and shops that depend on departing flights for business will shut down, too, Chin said."
No, the passengers cannot go through a different checkpoint and then teleport to terminal G.

Coming across in droves? Undersirable people? First, I assures you nobody is coming across in droves, and second, we all know the racist code words.
The wall is Trump's little toy and he is throwing a tantrum because rational people know it is not only a waste of money, but it is impossible. He needs to quit acting his age and spend his last two years acting somewhat presidential.

Last November more than 25,000 people were arrested at the border. Only one in five crossing is caught. That is droves by any measure. 3,000 of those were convicted felons. None of them were crossing to attend choir practice.
Your equating sovereignty with racism is laughable and as disingenuous as your tirade deriding the President.
When those without a defensible position are confronted, they hurl insults.

Did it ever occur to you why the increase in attempted crossings since Trump was sworn in? YEA..an increase in attempted crossings, and last November was over 51K not 25K. I do not know where u get your "only 1 in 5 is caught" since border patrol was increased many years ago, and the number, of attempted crossings, was on the decrease for many many years. I give KUDOS to the South Border Patrol offices and officers for doing a great job, Saying they need a wall is an insult to them! Makes it appear they cannot do their job!
Again my apologies to the members as this is an aviation, not a political forum.

Living about a 20 minute drive from the border, and having lived here for about 51 years gives me a better perspective on the truth than someone who lives in New Jersey. It is very quiet on the border.
And may I ask you just how many of the 25,000 arrests you claim were legal residents? Something tells me you have no idea.
As for deriding Trump, how could you not deride a 71 year old acting like a toddler. If you are unable to see what as ass he is, I must dismiss anything else you have to say.
