US EditionTSA PreCheck is open at airports, agency says, hours after DHS announced suspension
TSA PreCheck remains active during the partial government shutdown while Global Entry processing is suspended, affecting over 40 million vetted travelers, DHS said.
- On Sunday, the Transportation Security Administration said its PreCheck program would remain operational despite an earlier U.S. Department of Homeland Security suspension announcement, with reports showing airport observations at 6 a.m. ET.
- The partial government shutdown began Feb. 14, prompting the Department of Homeland Security to scale back operations and redirect federal personnel and funding to core security missions.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection will halt Global Entry arrival processing at participating airports and reassign officers to primary inspection lanes for arriving travelers.
- More than 40 million vetted travelers face potential service disruptions as about 95% of TSA employees deemed essential work without pay, increasing airport checkpoint wait times.
- Airlines for America warned programs are being used as a political football and urged Congress to act, while Kristi Noem said 'shutdowns have serious real world consequences' as lawmakers are in recess until Feb. 23.
