US agency warns extended government shutdown could lead to long lines at airports

Reuters12-20 03:36

WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - The head of the Transportation Security Administration warned Thursday that an extended partial U.S. government shutdown could lead to longer wait times at airports.

TSA, which handles airport security screening, said about 59,000 of its 62,000 employees are considered essential and would continue working without pay in the event of a shutdown.

"While our personnel are prepared to handle high volumes of travelers and ensure safe travel, please be aware that an extended shutdown could mean longer wait times at airports," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said on social media.

The agency expects to screen a record 40 million passengers over the holidays.
