Several US airports advised travelers on Saturday to arrive at least four hours before their flights because of long security lines even after President Donald Trump said Transportation Security Administration workers would be paid by tapping funds from his 2025 tax and spending bill.

The Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues with no end in sight, with Congress having left for a two-week break after failing to agree Friday on a spending measure. Airports in Atlanta and Baltimore issued the four-hour warnings while Houston warned of much longer than usual waits.
