Potential Airport Delays Loom as US Homeland Security Faces Shutdown

Travel organizations warn that a US Homeland Security shutdown could result in airport delays, impacting holiday travel plans for many.

As the prospect of a shutdown looms over the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, travel organizations are raising alarms about possible delays at airports. While air traffic controllers are not expected to be adversely impacted, some Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees may face unpaid work, which could disrupt normal operations.

Industry experts suggest that any interruption in TSA services could lead to longer wait times at security checkpoints and overall travel inconvenience. Travelers are advised to stay informed about the situation as it develops, especially with busy holiday travel periods approaching.
