Airports across the United States are warning travelers to arrive much earlier than usual as the spring break travel season ramps up. Reports say more than 300 Transportation Security Administration officers have quit amid the ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding shutdown. At the same time, many TSA employees classified as essential workers are continuing to work without pay until the situation is resolved. With staffing shortages affecting security checkpoints, some airports are advising travelers to arrive four to six hours before international flights to avoid missing departures. Officials say screening operations are continuing, but travelers should be prepared for longer wait times.
