TSA PreCheck offers faster screening at airports nationwide, including Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. How it works and how to enroll.

Travelers stuck in line for hours at airport security this week are the latest victims of a partial government shutdown that has dragged on for nearly a month.

An overview of TSA PreCheck and whether the program is still worth the fee as airport security technology and policies change.

Logan Airport has launched TSA Precheck Touchless ID, a new technology that allows travelers to pass through security checkpoints without presenting a physical passport or Real ID.

With global conflicts creating uncertainty and TSA lines growing longer due to the current partial government shutdown, travelers heading out this spring should take precautions before departing.

The TSA said its PreCheck airport screening lanes are operational, hours after the DHS said the faster security checkpoint services would be paused.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it intended to pause two of its programs meant to expedite the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) airport screening process starting Sunday as a shutdown of the agency stretches into a second week,

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement that TSA and Customs and Border Protection are "suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts."

The touchless lane uses facial comparison technology to match a live image captured at the checkpoint with the passport photo stored in an airline profile. If everything lines up, a mobile boarding pass labeled "TSA PreCheck Touchless ID" unlocks access to a dedicated lane.

Nearly a month into the partial government shutdown, operations are flying smoothly at Boston Logan International Airport as TSA agents continue to work without pay.

The U.S. government remains partially shutdown. If you're flying and have TSA PreCheck access, make sure all of your information is good to go.
