The Department of Homeland Security has temporarily halted TSA PreCheck and Global Entry expedited security programs amid the ongoing partial government shutdown. The suspension affects travelers who rely on these programs for faster airport screening.
The Department of Homeland Security has temporarily halted two popular expedited airport security programs as the partial government shutdown continues to impact federal operations.
Both TSA PreCheck and Global Entry services have been suspended, affecting travelers who depend on these programs for quicker passage through airport security checkpoints.
The suspension comes as the government shutdown enters its latest phase, forcing various federal agencies to reduce or eliminate certain services. These trusted traveler programs typically allow pre-approved passengers to move through security screening more rapidly at airports across the country.
The halt in services will likely create longer wait times at airports as travelers who normally use the expedited lanes will need to proceed through standard security screening processes.
