The Transportation Security Administration abruptly reversed course on suspending its PreCheck service Sunday — saying it will remain operational despite a statement from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“At this time, TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public,” a TSA spokesperson told The Post.
“As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly,” the spokesperson added. “Courtesy escorts, such as those for Members of Congress, have been suspended to allow officers to focus on the mission of securing America’s skies.”
The DHS had said that it was temporarily “ending Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck® lanes and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Global Entry service,” due to the partial government shutdown.
TSA Pre is a paid service that allows frequent fliers to get screened through an expedited process at airports where they keep their laptops in the check-in bags, among other accommodations.
It typically costs about $85.
The DHS has been partially shut down since Feb. 14 due to a funding lapse in Congress caused by a deadlock over the Democrats’ demands for sweeping reforms to immigration enforcement policy.
The Post contacted the DHS for comment on the reversal and for clarification on whether Global Entry is continuing as well.
