Legal experts claim that a Department of Homeland Security video featuring Kristi Noem breaks the law.
The video, posted on social media by the White House, shows Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.
Noem says in the video: "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."
Law and ethics experts argue that the video violates the Hatch Act, but note that serious consequences are rarely imposed.
Multiple airports, including Indianapolis, are refusing to play the video due to its political messaging, citing policy violations or illegality.
