Getting Worse: Government Shutdown Forces Miami Airport to Close a Terminal
With more federal security screeners refusing to work without pay and due to staffing shortages caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown, Miami International Airport will close off one of its terminals starting this weekend and send TSA workers to busier checkpoints, a spokesman said Thursday night.

My understanding is that only one security checkpoint was closed, not an entire terminal. Pax could go to the next checkpoint and still access the terminal once through security. Still a pain for the passengers, though.
This clearly says the opposite - "Planes will still be able to drop off passengers at Terminal G throughout the day. But once the security checkpoint closes, outbound passengers will have no access to the gates and the restaurants and shops that depend on departing flights for business will shut down, too, Chin said."
No, the passengers cannot go through a different checkpoint and then teleport to terminal G.

I guess it’s going to take a mid-air to get everyones’s attention in order to get these federal workers back to work? Any President that uses government workers as pawns in this way just to invoke a political fight that really nobody wants is severely tone deaf! Since we are speaking about airport/ TSA, ATC workers here, you have to ask yourself two questions: 1. The President had both houses of government and still could not get it done and 2. When both houses unanimously approved a bill to settle all this........Trump turned on everyone , classic juvenile baby trump. Stay tuned as his poorly educated white base sit around with dumb looks on their faces as he turns the USA into the very Shi#hole country he despises! To quote: “there are none so blind as those who will not see”! I’m done with this topic.
Good job Don crush that economy you blather on about. You look like you are going to be a welfare state in 2020 with everything shutting down. At least the Americans don't have to pay tax cause Don closed the government.
What are you doing about that obese twit of Russian espionage. You who vote people out of this forum just to get rid of the pesky luddites. Voting someone out because you happen to be destroying this amazing information for aviation. Don't wreck this happens to be true. I don't vote a person out who says something I disagree with. It is the odd idiot I will vote down if they are vulgur to others.

So because Federal employees should have a rainy day fund, and because they get "superior" rates of pay (which I dispute but that's besides the point here) it's ok for people to be required to work and not get paid on time for it? What other industry in the world says to their employees "ya... You have to keep showing up... I'll pay you... But I'm not going to tell you when....it could be months or even years" that's insane. Whether there is a crisis at the boarder or not is up to everyone to decide on their own. DC is holding federal employees hostage as leverage to play their political game. That is wrong no matter what is happening south of us.
Federal employees know the rules when they sign on. They will also receive every dollar they are owed.
The game is only being played by the Democrats, who only have a majority in the House. The President is protecting the country.
What is happening to the South of us is costing untold billions, and taking an unconscious tole on our safety.

Federal employees are not pawns and do not expect to be treated as such! They may receive every dollar they are owed but when?...after they lose their house and possibly transportation because they can no longer pay for it?
The game is being played by your President. He had control of both House of Reps and Senate for the past 2 years...and no wall funding was allocated!
Now this is an aviation forum, not a political grandstand. My apologies to the other members.
