在政府部分停摆之际，美国国土安全部（DHS）正暂时暂停TSA快速安检（TSA PreCheck）和全球入境（Global Entry）这两项美国使用最广泛的”可信旅客”计划。
国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）在致CNN的声明中解释了暂停这些项目的原因，称运输安全管理局（TSA）和海关与边境保护局（CBP）”正专注于机场和入境口岸的普通旅客，已暂停礼遇和特殊特权护送服务”。
声明补充道：”停摆带来严重的现实后果，不仅影响国土安全部的工作人员及其家庭无薪工作，更危及国家安全。”《华盛顿邮报》率先报道了这些措施。
这一举措标志着国土安全部停摆对旅客影响的重大升级，将有效取消数百万美国公民、合法永久居民以及来自20多个国家的国际旅客依赖的快速安检通道和海关快速通关服务。
此次停摆仅影响国土安全部，起因是国会未能就移民执法政策的资金协议达成一致。民主党在今年早些时候明尼阿波利斯联邦官员枪杀两名美国公民后，推动对移民和海关执法局（ICE）、CBP等机构实施新限制。共和党则强烈反对这些提议，并施压民主党同意对所谓”庇护城市”实施更严格执法。
与此同时，国土安全部约6.3万名TSA特工等被认定为必要人员仍在无薪工作。
诺姆：”艰难但必要的决定”
“美国民众每天都依赖这个部门，我们正在做出艰难但必要的人力和资源决策，以减轻这些政客造成的损害。”诺姆在声明中补充道。
众议院国土安全委员会民主党人在社交媒体上谴责暂停这些项目的举措，指责国土安全部领导层”故意惩罚旅客”、”破坏你们的出行”。
国土安全部尚未就这些变化何时生效的进一步细节请求作出回应。其发言人告诉《华盛顿邮报》，由于机构大部分停摆，TSA快速安检和全球入境项目的暂停将于美国东部时间周日上午6点开始。
对旅客有何立即影响？
美国机场TSA快速安检通道的暂停将要求已注册旅客使用标准安检流程。国际旅客通过全球入境项目返回或进入美国的流程主要在自助亭完成，目前其影响尚不明确，但最终可能导致海关和护照检查处的等待时间增加。
CNN已联系三家处理注册的TSA快速安检服务提供商，但它们的网站似乎仍在接受申请。
TSA数据显示，TSA快速安检五年会员费为76.75至85美元，2024年活跃会员超过2000万。
海关与边境保护局称，超过1200万旅客注册了全球入境项目，五年会员费为120美元。
据TSA统计，国土安全部可信旅客项目共覆盖超过4000万经过背景审查的航空旅客。
尽管此前政府停摆曾导致注册业务中断和机场排队时间延长，但TSA快速安检通道和全球入境自助亭仍保持开放。而此次国土安全部的计划将是首次在停摆期间全国性暂停这些项目的便利服务。
去年创纪录的停摆期间，这些项目虽未正式暂停，但人员短缺导致安检队伍变长、部分机场临时关闭检查点，以及拥堵蔓延至美国整个航空系统，造成航班延误和取消现象持续。
DHS suspends trusted-traveler programs TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown drags on

The Department of Homeland Security is temporarily halting TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, two of the most widely used trusted-traveler programs in the United States, amid a partial government shutdown.
In a statement to CNN regarding the suspension of those programs, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the Transportation Security Administration and Customs and Border Patrol “are focusing on the general traveling public at our airports and ports of entry and have suspended courtesy and special privilege escorts.”
“Shutdowns have serious real-world consequences, not just for the men and women of DHS and their families who go without a paycheck, but it endangers our national security,” the statement added. The Washington Post first reported on the measures.
The move marks a significant escalation in how the DHS shutdown is impacting travelers, effectively dismantling expedited airport security lanes and fast‑track customs processing relied on by millions of frequent flyers who are US citizens or legal permanent residents as well as international passengers from more than 20 countries.
The suspension comes during a partial government shutdown affecting only the Department of Homeland Security, after Congress failed to reach a funding agreement amid a standoff over immigration enforcement policy.
Democrats have pushed for new restrictions on agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP after the fatal shooting of two US citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis earlier this year. Republicans have largely opposed the proposed changes, while pressing Democrats to agree to measures such as stricter enforcement against so‑called sanctuary cities.
Meanwhile, DHS employees deemed essential, including an estimated 63,000 TSA agents, have continued working without pay.
Noem: ‘Tough but necessary decisions’
“The American people depend on this department every day, and we are making tough but necessary workforce and resource decisions to mitigate the damage inflicted by these politicians,” Noem added in the statement.
Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee have condemned on social media the move to suspend these programs, accusing DHS’ leadership of “punishing travelers” and “ruining your travel on purpose.”
DHS has not responded so far to further requests for details on when these changes are taking effect. A DHS spokesperson told The Washington Post the suspension of both TSA PreCheck and Global Entry is starting Sunday at 6 a.m. ET due to the shutdown of much of the agency.
What would immediately change for travelers?
The suspension of TSA PreCheck lanes at US airports would require enrolled travelers to use standard security screening. It’s uncertain how international passengers returning or entering the US through Global Entry will be impacted as most of this process is done at automated kiosks. The eventual disruptions are likely to increase wait times at customs and passport control.
CNN has also reached out to the three TSA PreCheck providers processing enrollments as their websites still seem to be accepting applications.
TSA PreCheck, which costs between $76.75 and $85 for a five‑year membership, surpassed 20 million active members in 2024, according to TSA.
More than 12 million travelers are enrolled in Global Entry, according to CBP. The program charges a $120 application fee, also for a five-year membership.
Together, DHS trusted-traveler programs cover more than 40 million vetted airline passengers, according to TSA.
While previous government shutdowns disrupted enrollment operations and led to longer airport lines, TSA PreCheck lanes and Global Entry kiosks remained open. The current DHS plan would mark the first known nationwide suspension of the programs’ benefits during a shutdown.
During last year’s record shutdown, the programs were not formally suspended, but staffing shortages contributed to longer security lines, temporary checkpoint closures at some airports, and lingering flight delays and cancellations as congestion spread across the US air travel system.
