Air Traffic Delays a Strategic Move

I flew out of LA with no delays in security or on the tarmac—but apparently I was one of the lucky few says USA Today. Delays across the country have halted flyers for two days as Congress and President Obama butt heads on a 4 percent budget cut for the FAA. An editorial in the Wall Street Journal says the delays are actually a tactic to annoy people and pressure Congress to play ball with the President on the budget.  They could’ve easily furloughed non-essential workers if they had chosen to but instead are pushing for a different solution.
