   In an extraordinary effort to inject politics into millions of Americans’   
   travel experiences, the Trump administration plans to roll out a video at   
   airports across the United States that will blame Democrats for lapses in   
   Transportation Security Administration workers’ pay because of the   
   government shutdown.   
      
   People waiting in airport security lines will now be met with a new video   
   of the Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem addressing the shutdown.   
      
   “It is TSA’s top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and   
   efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe,” she   
   says. “However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal   
   government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and   
   most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”   
      
   The video was first obtained by Fox News.   
      
   The Department of Homeland Security responded to CNN’s questions about the   
   video in a statement that noted the “public service video is rolling out   
   across the country,” then repeated the language in the video almost   
   verbatim.   
      
   “We will continue to do all that we can to avoid delays that will impact   
   your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the   
   importance of opening the government,” the video concludes.   
      
   TSA checkpoints often include videos featuring government officials   
   welcoming travelers and explanations of procedures, but they usually do   
   not contain political messages.
