The video, first obtained by Fox News, is intended to play at security lines, with Noem stating, “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.”
She also says, “However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”
In an email to CNN, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport, Hillsboro Airport and Troutdale Airport, confirmed a request came from the Transportation Security Administration to display the video message.
“We did not consent to playing the video in its current form, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, spokesperson for the Port of Portland.

South Park video is more interesting than her video.

Noem’s propaganda video should be illegal and grounds for dismissal. She’s supposed to serving all the people, not blaming Democrats. Republicans have control over all 3 branches of government. Trump and Vance are the leaders who have no interest, much less a plan to unite the country. This administration needs to impeached.

I’m at MCO (Orlando, Florida) right now waiting for my flight. I didn’t see it. There was a video of her, but it wasn’t prominent, and I think it was an older one about REAL ID.
I made sure to be extra gracious to the TSA folks, given what they’re going through.

I recommend they play South Park clips of her instead

Sure, they’re „refusing“, but that phrasing suggests they’re doing it for their own personal beliefs. More neutrally, airports are not showing this video because doing so would be a violation of federal (and in some of these jurisdictions, state) laws, no matter what DHS asks.

would airports playing Noem’s video really be violating the Hatch Act. I thought that the Act only applied to federal employees. Aren’t the airports privately owned?
Besides, wouldn’t a DOJ run by Pam Bondi be the one’s to do any prosecution.
We will have to wait and see if there are any reports of other airports playing the video, but even if they do, I think they will be safe.

I hated seeing her face when I was in line. they found how to make the security line worse.

Good. I wonder what could you do if you’re standing in line, and start hearing her lying propaganda, that won’t get you harassed by the TSA.

Blue states should start running their own airport security and reduce the size and reach of federal law enforcement.

I would love a series. A series called „Republican Polticians are totally OK with this“.
Showing the worst stuff Republicans are doing, except as if it was done by Democrats.
„Democrats have in airports posted signs telling flyers that Republican at fault for the government shutdown“ (Hatch act)
„Democrats have forced departments to blame Republicans on their webpages, and in out-of-office notificationts“ (Hactch act)
„Democrats want to destroy the Health Insurance Reform, so that you can’t afford insurance premiums anymore“.
(Just another nickname for ACA)
„Local democrat gas bombed a Christian Church, so he could have a photoshoot there“ (Trump actually)
„Biden wanted to send military into red states, and threaten to cut funding to red states“ (Also Trump)
Just roll with it all their worst stuff. Get Republican voters angry and talking about it.
Later on post a long disclaimer tied to them all that there had been a mixup of what party names to use.
At best it would at least give a fair number of Republican head aches while trying to rewire their talking points.

Noem needs to be fired for the negative propaganda that is meant to further divide the country. “United we stand” isn’t a Nazis belief. Noem is promoting fascism. This is treason.

Finally, some spine in the system—flew out of PDX last month dodging that same shutdown BS, and the last thing I needed was Noem’s blame game looping like a bad infomercial. Hatch Act holding the line feels like the one win in this clown show.

[Some US airports are refusing](https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/us/kristi-noem-tsa-video?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) to play a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the federal government shutdown.
The video, first obtained by Fox News, is intended to play at security lines, with Noem stating, “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.”
