Indianapolis Airport Refuses to Play Kristi Noem's Video

Legal experts claim that a video by Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, violates the Hatch Act.

The video, posted on social media by the White House, features Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

Noem says in the video: "It is TSA's top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe."

Multiple airports, including Indianapolis, are refusing to play the video at security checkpoints, citing its political messaging as a violation of their policies or the law.

Law and ethics experts note that while the video may break the law, serious consequences are rarely imposed.

Airports across the country are taking a stance against the video's political content.

Author's summary: Airports refuse Noem's video.
