A combination of a partial government shutdown and an oil price spike from President Trump's Iran war are causing a spring of hell for air travelers. Airlines are warning of higher fares due to Iran's effectively blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for oil and other global commodities. Meanwhile, airports are experiencing massive security delays due to the partial government government shutdown, and TSA screeners are working without pay and without pay. Despite a five-day pause on strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure, oil prices remained high on Monday morning after President Trump announced a détente with Iran, which could be an early step towards reopening the Strait Hormz. Meanwhile another deadly incident at New York's LaGuardia Airport has raised concerns about flight safety. Jeffrey Price, an aviation security expert, suggests that closures at smaller airports are a real possibility.
