Need source articles
I cannot create the requested 4–6 paragraph, multi-source summary because you did not provide any source articles for me to use.
“Airport security lines in Austin stretched outside the door early Friday with passengers waiting hours to board their flights amid pressure on Congressional lawmakers to reach a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)”
Per the instructions I must base all claims strictly on provided articles and may not add facts from outside those sources; without articles I cannot produce the cited, multi-source paragraphs you requested.

Please provide the news articles or links you want summarized, and I will produce the 4–6 paragraph summary with per-paragraph citations drawn from at least three distinct sources as requested.
