What recent changes have occurred at major airport security checkpoints?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Lines at major airport security checkpoints are starting to shrink. As Marlon Hyde of member station WABE reports, Transportation Security Administration officers are beginning to receive paychecks after President Trump signed a memo ordering the Department of Homeland Security to pay them.
After days of long security lines at Atlanta-Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a spokesperson says wait times are now under 10 minutes at all checkpoints. 65-year-old Carol Knowles just arrived back to Atlanta. She says the security lines look unrecognizable from last week.
Well, I was getting ready to take some pictures myself. Like, is this the same airport? That's how good it looks.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are still around, even checking IDs at security checkpoints, with no word on when that deployment will end. The union representing TSA officers says that while employees are starting to receive pay for previous weeks, it is not everything they are owed. For NPR News, I'm Marlon Hyde in Atlanta.
The FBI says an attack on a Detroit-area synagogue earlier this month was an act of terrorism inspired by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Michigan Public Radio's Colin Jackson has more.
On March 12th, a man armed with fireworks, gasoline, and weapons rammed his truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. Ayman Ghazali exchanged gunfire with a security guard before fatally shooting himself. Federal agents say Ghazali had been posting and consuming pro-Hezbollah content online. U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon says it does not matter whether the attack was directed or inspired.
There's no legal difference whether a Hezbollah commander called this man and said, go do this attack, or whether this man consumed Hezbollah propaganda and heeded the call within the propaganda to go do an attack.
The FBI says it doesn't have any evidence of co-conspirators. For NPR News, I'm Collin Jackson in Detroit.
