Key Points:
- TSA PreCheck and Global Entry lanes were officially suspended by federal officials at 6 a.m. ET Sunday due to the partial government shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security's funding, but many airports kept the lanes open beyond the deadline.
- The TSA, part of DHS, stated it was assessing operations on a case-by-case basis and initially reported no changes for travelers, though some airports like Los Angeles diverted PreCheck customers to general lanes while others, including San Francisco, kept them operational.
- The partial shutdown has led to confusion amid a busy travel weekend complicated by a Northeast blizzard, with airlines canceling flights and offering waivers; TSA and customs agents are working without pay as essential employees.
