The list names places that commuter flights and private jets land. Prior to clicking the link I thought Whoa! but these are aren't huge airports at risk.

WASHINGTON – The White House trotted out Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today to explain that the sequester will take a toll at many of the nation’s airports.
“This is very painful for us because it involves our employees,” he told reporters. “But it’s gonna be VERY painful for the flying public.”
Previously Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano warned of a one hour increase in waiting in line at airport security checkpoints as a result of the furloughing of TSA workers.
