I called the hotel to cancel, and was told they are being told to check on guests from out of state to see if they are self quarantining. No Joke.
TSA is part of a Federal agency. It seems very strange that TSA would have any involvement with enforcing a state requirement. New York has enforcement teams at the airports to enforce the travel ban, and the state is getting cooperation from the airlines. But, I haven't seen anything regarding the Federal Government being involved in the travel ban.
