Overview
- Beginning at 4 a.m. Saturday, TSA screening at George Bush Intercontinental will operate only in Terminals A and E, and Hobby will run with reduced lanes.
- The Houston Airport System advises travelers to arrive early at both airports due to potential delays at security checkpoints.
- Wait times to clear screening could exceed 30 minutes based on the airport system's notice.
- United Airlines customers are asked to check bags at IAH Terminal C and then proceed to Terminal E for security by walking or using the airport subway.
- The Friday advisory did not explain the reason for the slowdown, following earlier TSA and FAA statements that warned prolonged shutdown conditions could stretch staffing and increase delays.
