The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Feb. 22 that its Global Entry rapid security screening program would be suspended as long as a funding lapse affecting the agency continues.

However, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck program will remain operational, the department said earlier in the day, reversing an earlier announcement stating that both the Global Entry and PreCheck programs would be suspended for the duration of the shutdown.
