Why SeaTac has been spared insanely long TSA lines...so far
From New York to Phoenix, at least fourteen major airports across the country will see ICE agents deployed today, according to White House border Czar Tom Homan.
The immigration agents are being sent to bolster TSA staffing amid an ongoing partial federal government shutdown.
In many places, that has led to security checkpoint lines that stretch for blocks and have travelers waiting hours to get to their flights.
But it’s been a different picture at SeaTac, at least for now.
