18. Seriously. 4.6 million yearly passengers may not be an LAX, but OKC is a major hub for the area.

Will Rogers/OKC in Oklahoma City has many more passengers than many of the medium hubs listed on your wikipedia page, like blue San Diego, which was part of the shut down order.

And I'm personally affected by San Diego because my son has to fly out of there in a few weeks to come to me, and now that is up in the air.

But you're right about one thing. These blue airport shut downs will affect all the airports, whether Trump wants it to or not, because passengers from these medium hubs do fly to all major hubs, and to other medium hubs like OKC not part of the shut down order.
