Airports grapple with lengthy security lines due to the partial government shutdown and TSA staffing shortages. While some major hubs face over an hour wait, others with contracted screening programs move passengers swiftly. The shutdown, initiated on February 14th, has led to frustration among travelers, particularly during spring break season. Officials warn of potential disruptions if the standoff continues, similar to last years shutdown. Meanwhile, airports using private contractors overseen by the TSA are avoiding these issues, but the TSA union and lawmakers have concerns about expanding privatization.
