TSA agents hold protest demanding end to government shutdown at Pittsburgh airport

Take it from me, this is how a gov spox says “Parts of the story are wrong and parts are right, but I can’t tell you which parts are which because it would require confirming some things or refuting with info that I don’t want to reveal (because it’s sensitive or damaging).”


Strange grownups in uniforms putting you in a cage, taking your parents away, and then forgetting who you are is literally the stuff of children's nightmares.
