The Department of Homeland Security has suspended TSA PreCheck and Global Entry lanes at U.S. airports due to the ongoing government shutdown. The suspension began early Sunday morning, affecting thousands of travelers who rely on expedited security processing.
Airlines are bracing for increased delays and potential disruptions, which could impact stock prices in the travel sector. The halt may also affect consumer sentiment towards air travel, potentially reducing bookings.
This development underscores the broader impact of the government shutdown on critical infrastructure and services, highlighting vulnerabilities in national security and economic stability.
