Major US Airports See Improved Checkpoint Operations After Pay Resolution
Airport security lines have eased at several major US airports after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers began receiving retroactive pay. The improvement in checkpoint operations comes after weeks of missed paychecks during the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Airports such as Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport reported notable improvements, with wait times decreasing significantly. However, conditions remain uneven around the country, with Houston remaining a problem spot. The situation was first reported by AeroTime.
