DHS Reverses Suspension of PreCheck as It Takes Shutdown Steps

The Transportation Security Administration said it will continue to operate the PreCheck program after the Department of Homeland Security earlier said it will temporarily pause several programs that speed up some travelers’ progress through airports.

DHS originally said that it would suspend the operations of PreCheck lanes starting Sunday at 6 a.m., but a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration said later Sunday the program will remain operational with no changes.
