Expedited Security Service Continues Despite Initial Suspension Notice

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that its PreCheck program would continue operating, despite an initial notice of suspension due to the partial government shutdown. The program, which serves 20 million pre-screened members, allows for expedited security screening at airports. The government shutdown has left thousands of DHS workers, including TSA airport screeners, working without pay. The TSA warned that travelers should expect potential changes as staffing constraints arise, but emphasized that security would not be compromised. The announcement was first reported by AeroTime.
