"The head of Homeland Security has a bit of advice for airlines who want to shorten long waits at airport security: waive fees for checked baggage. "We've asked the airlines to consider possibly eliminating the checked baggage fee to encourage people to check their luggage rather than putting it in the carry on," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Tuesday evening. It's a call echoed by U.S. Senators Edward Markey and Richard Blumenthal who also pitched the idea in a letter last week to a dozen major U.S. airlines. The airlines' response? No way." To me this could represent how political parties are turning on each other, specifically Republicans. When Donald Trump entered the presidential race on the side of Republicans, and presented ridiculous ideals, many Republicans began to question the way he wanted to run the country. Homeland Security and airline companies are generally on the same side, so Homeland Security calling out an issue of the airline companies is on the same level. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/homeland-security-airlines-get-rid-baggage-fees-shorten-lines-n576371
