This is the longest government shutdown in American history, and the toll it's taking on all parts of the country is becoming more clear everyday. Airports are one of the places where the shutdown is likely to have an impact on a large number of people. In the past few days, more and more TSA workers are calling in sick, and news outlets are reporting long delays at some our busiest airports.
Security checkpoints are closing, lines are growing, and patience is wearing thin as the shutdown has no end in sight.
