Travel experts warn that images of long airport lines in Houston could impact the government's reopening, even for those who don't fly.
On Monday morning, passengers at Bush Intercontinental Airport encountered long TSA wait lines, with wait times of up to three hours due to the ongoing government shutdown.
"That sort of puts stress on your family," said Tracy McGee, a former federal employee. "I had a spouse who said, 'What are we going to do?' We had young kids at the time."
Experts caution that long lines could return, despite current wait times dropping.
