MASSIVE TSA DELAYS IN HOUSTON. HOW BAD IS IT?

✈️ Travelers at Houston’s Bush Airport faced shocking security lines Monday, with waits topping four hours in some terminals. Officials warned that missed flights were possible as staffing shortages continue during the government shutdown.

With only two terminals open and many TSA workers absent, lines stretched through the airport. Some passengers missed flights, while others questioned the presence of federal agents assisting nearby. If you are flying soon, check with your airline early and give yourself extra time to get through security.

BEST CRAWFISH SPOTS IN HOUSTON RIGHT NOW

🦞 Crawfish season is back, and Houston is full of flavor. Whether you like them spicy, buttery, or packed with garlic, there is a spot for you to dig in and enjoy the mess.

Here are a few places to check out:

  • BB’s Tex Orleans for classic Cajun or citrus garlic options

  • Crawfish and Noodles for bold Viet Cajun flavors
