The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a temporary suspension of two programs designed to expedite airport security processes for certain travelers. Bloomberg posted on X that this decision comes as a result of the ongoing funding shutdown. The affected programs aim to streamline security checks, but their suspension may lead to longer wait times for travelers. The DHS spokesperson did not specify when the programs might resume, leaving travelers uncertain about future airport experiences. The funding shutdown has prompted various government departments to adjust their operations, with the DHS being one of the latest to announce changes. Travelers are advised to prepare for potential delays and plan accordingly.
