PHL contracts TSA presence as shutdown strains staffing at airport
Philadelphia International Airport will close two more TSA checkpoints (Terminals A-West and F) starting March 18, adding to the Terminal C closure already in effect, due to staffing shortages amid the partial federal shutdown. TSA PreCheck remains available at Terminals A-East and D/E, and travelers can still access open checkpoints via connected post-security pathways at the affected terminals.
