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, posted on social media by the White House, shows 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."

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

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.

Author's summary: Kristi Noem's video breaks the law.
