Miami International Airport plans to close off one of its terminals this weekend due to staffing shortages caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown. Airport spokesman Greg Chin told the Miami Herald that the security checkpoint at the G terminal is expected to be closed starting at 1 p.m. local time Saturday, the 22nd day of the federal government’s partial shutdown. “We felt we had to make a decision before the weekend,” Chin told the Herald. The terminal is expected to open Sunday and Monday for morning flights before closing again in the afternoons, Chin said. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees, including TSA workers, missed their first paycheck on Friday.
