LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — For a few hours on Feb. 22, millions of travelers thought they’d be standing in longer airport lines.

The Department of Homeland Security initially announced TSA PreCheck would be suspended amid the ongoing partial agency shutdown—only to reverse course later in the morning. TSA clarified the expedited screening program “remains operational with no change for the traveling public.”

TSA PreCheck now serves over 20 million participants, giving vetted passengers access to separate security lines and a faster checkpoint experience.

The earlier notice, which would have halted the program at 6 a.m. EST, sparked concern among airlines as spring break travel ramps up. Officials now say PreCheck lanes will stay open, though some ancillary services may be trimmed as the shutdown continues. 

For now, however, PreCheck members can expect business as usual at airport security.
