Transportation Security Administration

Some Transportation Security Administration employees who worked through the six-week federal shutdown without pay have begun receiving $10,000 bonus checks, according to US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The payments follow days of public discussion about recognizing air traffic controllers' service during the shutdown.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reversed its decision to suspend PreCheck operations hours after announcing the move during a partial government shutdown. The agency stated that PreCheck would continue operating with no change for travelers, citing staffing constraints as a factor in potential adjustments.
