The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quickly suspended its suspension of TSA PreCheck.
On Saturday night, DHS announced TSA PreCheck and Global Entry would temporarily shut down starting Sunday, February 22, at 6:00 AM Eastern.
Hours later, the agency reversed course.
On Sunday morning, TSA announced that PreCheck was back in action!
At this time, TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public. As staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly.

No word yet on Global Entry. (Just download the Mobile Passport app — that’ll speed up the process of reentering the country.)
Congress members, though, still don’t have access to their airport escorts. (Heh heh!)
Courtesy escorts, such as those for Members of Congress, have been suspended to allow officers to focus on the mission of securing America’s skies.

Final Approach
PreCheck is back before it really left.
Who knows will tomorrow will bring?
