Noem warns of renewed TSA PreCheck pause amid DHS shutdown

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that, without funding for DHS during the partial government shutdown, TSA PreCheck could be paused again and security lanes prioritized for the busiest travelers, while Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry remains paused; she said the department would not reverse the decision but would set staffing priorities, noting PreCheck and Global Entry were not paused during last year’s 43‑day shutdown.

DHS shutdown could slow security lines as TSA workers operate unpaid

A U.S. Homeland Security funding lapse began, with about 95% of TSA personnel deemed essential and continuing to work without pay while air-traffic controllers remain funded, raising the risk of longer security lines and potential travel delays as airlines plan for reduced screening capacity; travelers are advised to arrive early, check airport wait times, and pack carefully to avoid screening delays.

TSA Enforces New Fees and Rules for Real ID Holders and Non-Compliance

Starting February 1, 2026, travelers without a REAL ID or approved ID at U.S. airports will face a $45 fee and must verify their identity online before passing through TSA security, with the process taking up to 30 minutes. The REAL ID, which looks similar to a standard driver's license but includes a star, is required for domestic flights and federal access, but not for international travel, where a passport remains necessary.

The 'biometric exit' program, which uses facial recognition to verify departing international travelers, is expanding across U.S. airports, raising privacy concerns and causing discomfort among travelers due to federal agents taking photos without clear opt-out options. The program aims to improve security and identity verification but faces criticism over privacy risks and potential misuse.
