Miami airport to close terminal as gov shutdown continues

MIAMI (AP) — Miami International Airport is closing a terminal this weekend due to the government shutdown because security screeners have been calling in sick at twice the airport’s normal rate.
Friday marks the first day screeners will miss a paycheck, and airport spokesman Greg Chin said there’s a concern there won’t be enough workers to handle all 11 checkpoints during normal hours over the weekend.
Chin said Terminal G will close at 1 p.m. Saturday, reopen for flight
