Indianapolis Airport Refuses to Play Kristi Noem's Video

Legal experts claim that a Department of Homeland Security video featuring Kristi Noem breaks the law.

The video, in which Noem blames Democrats for the government shutdown, is being refused by multiple airports, including Indianapolis, due to its political messaging.

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."

Law and ethics experts argue that the video violates the Hatch Act, but note that there are rarely serious consequences for such violations.

Airports across the country are refusing to play the video at security checkpoints, citing policy or legal concerns.

Author's summary: Noem's video sparks controversy.
