Sean Duffy sounds alarm over growing travel problems amid shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 04:35

I want to say one other thing, because I'll get a question about this. Oftentimes I'm asked, is the airspace safe? Is it safe to fly? And I would tell you that yes, It's as safe today as it was two months ago [to fly]. It's safe because we have great men and women who run our facilities that if they don't have the right staffing levels or if there's distractions in towers, they will slow down the landings and departures in different airports across the country.
