...it took me 5 minutes to go through security. More fascist progressive news hypersteria.

Also, until the wall is built? Really? If it was approved tomorrow, it would still take a while to get it built. The acquisition of land alone could take years.

especially with that 40 minute delay today huh?

I would be leaving from Houston Bush, which already has Terminal B closed down. I could conceivably cancel the trip, but that might put me in hot water with the company. I'm not sure. I have not broached the subject with them yet because I was hoping this would be over. But what about safety? Maybe we should just hope the shutdown ends before I need to leave (Feb 11th) and pay more for the tickets after it ends (assuming it does). Thoughts?

Yes, you SHOULD fly. And often.
