JUST IN🚨: Major disruption at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) this morning 😳 Several TSA checkpoints (including A-West, C, and F) are temporarily closed due to staffing issues from the ongoing partial gov shutdown. Lines shifting—arrive early!

This is insane, I really wouldn’t be flying right now unless it was necessary, democrats love to cause chaos and division at the expense of the American people..

@officer_Lew @Bulla1J Such is life in Federal Government world.

@officer_Lew @sarahadams Democrat Socialist this is a major security threat to America.

@officer_Lew I wonder how many Democrat’s will continue to vote Democrat? Im betting 100%

@officer_Lew Hi there! I'm a PA for NBC News NOW. Was this filmed this morning? And did you film this video yourself? If so, will you give NBCU permission to share it on all our platforms and partners, with credit to you?

@officer_Lew Dems will be Dems. I wonder how many of these stressed people voted for them?

@officer_Lew I wouldn’t travel now (unless driving).👋🏼

@officer_Lew Airlines should just shut it ALL down. Give congress 24 hours to fix it and then cancel every flight and tell everyone to go home. It's ridiculous.

@officer_Lew Why are people still flying , cancel and reschedule your plans

@officer_Lew @TheDemocrats should be tagged and video/puctures uploaded at every instance.

@officer_Lew @TheRicanMemes

@officer_Lew Congrats @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats! You own this!

@officer_Lew @democrats @HouseGOP @SenAlexPadilla @SenAdamSchiff Open the government. Next time there is a shutdown. Congress and all staff including capital police in the capital should have to go without pay. Open the Government!!

@officer_Lew Seems to me only people who need to fly for business would fly commercially anyway! Why not do a zoom call or a meeting online instead? Anyone who’s going on vacation needs to change their plans for now or else get in their damn cars and start driving until this blows over.

@officer_Lew To be fair, PHL is a disaster even when TSA is open.

@officer_Lew They need to wrap this shit up by May ‼️

@officer_Lew Pay TSA agents and this wouldn’t happen.

@officer_Lew @ChristyTar23 Thank Schumer for this!

@officer_Lew @OwannaVictory Privatization is the way to resolve this mess.

@officer_Lew What is the wait at pre check?

Um Nope! Hell No! I would not get stuck in that airport. Count me out! You know people are going to start losing their shit and getting drunk AND we know how that episode ends. Every week someone’s getting drunk flying … and that’s when they are cut off from the bar to literally catch a flight they soon will be escorted off of. Now they got comp food and drink vouchers and endless delays … AND they no need for the paddy wagon they got the cots out in case you pass out … just wait footage at 8!

@officer_Lew How about DONT GO! Do not air travel. Period.

@officer_Lew Democrats = DemonRats they did nothing but destroy this country and hate Trump.

@officer_Lew Yea. Arrive early. It doesn’t really matter a lot of the time. They’re going to pull some bullshit and you’ll be late or flight will be canceled anyway.

@officer_Lew Yet again the DNC shows willingness to hold US citizens hostage, harming workers and travelers, and risking safety. Lets talk about that, aye?

Flew out of PHL yesterday from terminal F. Used terminal D/E TSA checkpoint around 11:30am. No problem - less than 5 people in line for TSA Precheck. Then walked to F. Terminal B likely a nightmare during morning American Airlines rush. But yes, please get this situation resolved already.

@officer_Lew Thanks, Republicans!

@officer_Lew This should happen in all blue states . Let’s go !!!

@officer_Lew @jeannebodine Good grief. How much is this costing Americans in fare changes due to missed flights? End the shutdown!

@officer_Lew @sarahadams hahahaha 'shutdown doesn't affect me' folks

@officer_Lew Just went through PHL very recently. Wasn't too bad .... at 5AM

@officer_Lew Blue City stewing in their own juices says what?!

@officer_Lew It’s time to call in National Gaurd then to manage the TSA lines. Something must be done. All of the Congress both republicans and democrats must be removed from office

@officer_Lew Guys, you know we have AI right. Why is TSA essential again?

@officer_Lew Have you figured it out yet the Democratic party does not care how much we the people suffer you've got to remember this and you've got to get out and vote the lines for voting need to be as long as these lines are right now and they all need to be votes that are casting red
