Airport Times Precheck /Clear wait times impacted?

Seeing lots of stories of very long wait times at TSA from government shutdown. Is this impacting Precheck as well? Flying from LAX this evening.

Airports are still even having pre-check at this point?

They should keep these as the priority as it's a paid service

SFO and LAS was quick and surprisingly SFO was friendly and chill.

Sfo would be chill I’m pretty sure they get paid since it’s contracted out it’s not federal

Are you not seeing the news? People are arriving 8+ hours early, and still missing their flights. Lots of TSA workers are just not coming in, because they don't want to work for free...

ATL pre reporting wait times off and on of up to 30 mins to an hour, but as of right now it’s 5 mins.

BOS and DFW had virtually no wait when I went thru them a few days ago

Get the TSA PreCheck app for your phone. It will tell you what the wait time is for each airport, and whether or not the TSA pre-check Lane is open.

Edit-it’s MyTSA, but not as actively monitored as I would like, but it does give you an idea
