Stuart Varney introduces the ongoing issue of extensive wait times at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, with passengers experiencing waits of up to four hours. Fox News Correspondent Brooke Taylor reports live from the airport, detailing the two-and-a-half-hour waits and showing long lines of travelers stretching outside the terminal. The report highlights that a significant portion (36%) of TSA agents have called out sick, leading to only two terminals being operational. Passengers express their frustration, with one suggesting Congress needs to intervene to reopen DHS and bring TSA agents back to work. Footage also shows TSA officers continuing to work without paychecks.
