Overview
- TSA officers are working without pay in the sixth week of the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse, a strain that airports and airlines say is slowing screening.
- Houston’s Hobby warned of lines approaching three hours and urged passengers to arrive four to five hours early, while Bush Intercontinental posted 51 minutes, Atlanta and New Orleans about one hour, and Charlotte 47 minutes.
- TSA PreCheck remains available, but Global Entry is suspended, so international fliers clear customs in standard lanes, which adds time at hubs like Orlando International Airport.
- Ivanka Trump visited Disneyland Paris with her children on Tuesday, which TMZ documented with video of a visible security detail outside rides shortly after the president’s Iran warning on Truth Social and before a two‑week ceasefire.
- TMZ’s wider effort to track officials on break also featured Senator Lindsey Graham photographed at Chef Mickey’s at Walt Disney World, and he told the outlet he had voted seven times to fund the government.
