Ted Cruz Proposes Security Escorts for Lawmakers at Airports

The amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act aims to protect VIPs but faces criticism for potential resource strain and perceived elitism.

Senator Ted Cruz proposes an amendment to provide security escorts and expedited screening for lawmakers, federal judges, and Cabinet members at U.S. airports.
The amendment aims to protect VIPs from security threats and public scrutiny, especially during airport transits.
Critics argue the proposal could strain airport security resources and appears to offer special treatment to political elites.
The amendment is part of the FAA Reauthorization Act, which covers a range of aviation issues and is currently under review.
Cruz's proposal has sparked backlash and mockery online, with many recalling his controversial trip to Cancun during a Texas winter storm.
