From Fox News: While TSA officers on the front lines of airports across the nation continue to miss their paychecks, chaos is gripping some U.S. airports.
Footage from the Philadelphia International Airport, shot early Thursday morning, shows hundreds of passengers waiting on elevators and escalators to get through a security check point.
The airport announced it was temporarily closing three security checkpoints “to help optimize operations across other checkpoints,” starting Wednesday.
The Philadelphia International Airport has a total of six main checkpoints — now with just half of those points open and operating.
CBS News shared a look at the chaos:

Incredibly long lines this morning at @PHLAirport. Half the security checkpoints are closed due to the partial government shutdown. PHL is urging travelers to get here at least 2.5 to 3.5 hours early. We’re live all morning @CBSPhiladelphia with the latest travel conditions. pic.twitter.com/2fAHkNvZIl
