Air travelers in the U.S. are experiencing lengthy security lines due to the partial government shutdown, causing delays of over three hours at some airports. TSA officers, working without pay since February, have led to staff shortages and operational hiccups, including a halt in updates to the TSA website and app. Airports and airlines advise passengers to arrive early, with New Orleans and Houston airports suggesting three to five hours before flights. JetBlue warns of delays for PreCheck users. Travelers with special needs can still get assistance through TSA Cares, but with a 72-hour advance request. The DHS blames the delays on the shutdowns impact, urging everyone to arrive early to avoid issues.
