A visit from representatives of the Cuban government to TSA control facilities at the Miami International Airport (MIA) has sparked a political firestorm in the city, angering U.S. officials who questioned the access to sensitive information — a practice typically reserved for representatives of allied countries. Officials from the Caribbean country were granted access by federal agencies to inspect a TSA checkpoint and baggage screening area at the airport.
As reported by Axios, MIA director Ralph Cutie said the federal agencies did not inform him or Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava about the tour, adding that "as a Cuban American and native Miamian, I'm appalled that this took place."
