TSA says PreCheck remains operational despite earlier suspension announcement during partial government shutdown

TSA confirmed that its PreCheck program would continue to operate during the partial government shutdown, despite an earlier DHS announcement that the service would be suspended.

The clarification came after initial reports suggested PreCheck would be paused as agencies faced funding gaps, causing confusion for travelers who rely on the expedited screening program.

Officials emphasized that essential screening and operations would proceed to minimize travel disruptions while the shutdown persists.
