Partial Shutdown Pauses TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, Airports Jaw-Tighten Lanes
TL;DR
A partial federal shutdown prompted DHS to suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, with TSA saying operations will be evaluated case-by-case as staffing allows. Some airports diverted PreCheck lanes while others reported continued operation, creating travel confusion. Travelers with active memberships can still fly using standard security lines, and residents outside the PreCheck/Global Entry lanes must wait until funding is secured for a full reopening of the programs.
