Travelers Line Up on Sidewalk Outside Terminal in Freezing Temps at Baltimore Airport as Democrats Block Funding For TSA (VIDEO)
Thank a Democrat.
Travelers were forced to line up on the sidewalk outside the terminal in freezing temperatures early Saturday morning at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) as Democrats block funding for TSA agents.
President Trump signed an executive order authorizing payment to TSA agents, but they won’t begin receiving paychecks until Monday.
In the meantime, travelers are missing flights and waiting in long security lines.
On Friday, BWI warned travelers to expect longer wait times as usual amid the Easter and spring break travel rush.
“Expect longer than normal wait times at checkpoints. Especially if flying out from Concourses A, B or C,” BWI said.
Plan ahead if you’re traveling this weekend.
Arrive early.

On Saturday morning, BWI issued a second warning to travelers as TSA security line wait times exceeded 3 hours.
“If you are traveling today or tomorrow, please arrive to the airport 4 hours early,” BWI said.
“We have not previously experienced checkpoint wait times similar to what we are seeing this morning,” the airport said.

The line was so long that travelers were forced to line up outside on the sidewalk in freezing cold temperatures.

The same Democrats who keep blocking funding for TSA agents are happily skipping security lines.
Democrat House Minority Whip Kathleen Clark skipped the TSA lines as she denies agents pay.
Rep. Clark was spotted being escorted through the TSA security lines along with her coffee handler as she left DC.
