Amid ongoing confusion due to the partial government shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reversed its decision to suspend the TSA PreCheck program, which allows expedited security screening at airports. Initially, announcements indicated that TSA PreCheck and Global Entry would be halted, leading to disruptions and long lines at various airports, including Seattle-Tacoma and Chicago. However, a swift response from the White House and public outcry prompted DHS to keep TSA PreCheck operational despite earlier statements. Global Entry, however, remains suspended, causing further travel complications. Travelers are advised to check the status of these programs before heading to the airport as the situation continues to evolve.
