The Dallas Morning News reports:
Senator Ted Cruz is one step closer to his dream law to force law enforcement officers to give top national officials a private escort past airport security. Cruz introduced language into the Federal Aviation Administration’s funding bill. Yet despite some derision against him, the language remains in the bill.
During the ice storm of 2021, while millions of Texans were freezing in their homes, Cruz was seen aboard his flight leaving from Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport, en route to Cancun. He was blistered by critics so badly that he returned to the U.S. after one night.
Law enforcement would get involved, but the bill doesn’t say whether it would be airport police, the Transportation Safety Administration, Capitol police or local police. The bill stands a good chance of passage because it funds the FAA for four years.

Big underreported story. Ted Cruz wrote an amendment to give lawmakers a police escort through public airports—three years after he was caught fleeing to Cancún.
He stuffed it into a must-pass FAA bill that HIS committee (he’s the top Republican) oversees. pic.twitter.com/ZhrSHwITB2

.@tedcruz is still chapped over being caught sneaking to Cancun. He can’t get a damn thing done to improve the border or keep kids safe, but Ted figures out how to get private security covered by taxpayers. Self-serving. Soulless. Worthless. #txlegehttps://t.co/UlYWbXtdbt
