"They said on social media that the administration was "kneecapping the programs that make travel smoother and secure" and accused them of "ruining your travel on purpose.""
"The organization said it's "deeply concerned" that "the traveling public will be, once again, used as a political football amid another government shutdown.""
Homeland Security suspended TSA PreCheck and Global Entry amid a partial government shutdown. Those programs speed registered travelers through security lines, and the suspension will likely produce longer waits and travel disruptions. Secretary Kristi Noem said "shutdowns have serious real world consequences" and added that "TSA and CBP are prioritizing the general traveling population at our airports and ports of entry and suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts." The shutdown began Feb. 14 after Democrats and the White House failed to reach a DHS funding deal. Democrats demanded changes to immigration operations tied to the president's deportation agenda. Airlines for America urged Congress to act and criticized the short notice to travelers.
