Hey @TSA how are the lines I’m a bit worrried about my flight on March 25! Traveling from GRR TO IAH???

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and support of our TSA Personnel. Please note, TSA management may accept donations from travelers on behalf of TSA which will then be distributed to our front-line work force. Please reach out to your airport’s main line and ask to be connected with local TSA management. If you’re at the airport, ask for the TSA manager at the checkpoint. Local TSA will advise what’s acceptable (e.g., gift cards) and how to deliver.

Is there any way we can start tipping TSA workers when we go through security to help out. Maybe putting a couple bucks in a bin before the bag screen belt or at the end of the conveyor belt. Maybe leaving a couple in the bin we use after it clears @TSA.

@cadeleke4 We take your concerns about screening seriously. Please provide additional details so we can look into this further. To do so, please visit: tsa.gov/contact-center…

I’m trying to extend grace during the shutdown, but discrimination is unacceptable. @askTSA, an MIA agent yelled at me and tried to delay me after I was misdirected due to my service animal. The supervisor then refused to help unless I deleted my documentation of the incident.

Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck® benefits. TSA PreCheck provides expedited security screening benefits for flights departing from U.S. airports, and U.S.-bound flights from Nassau, on participating airlines. For more information on how to use your TSA PreCheck benefits, please visit: tsa.gov/precheck/benef…

@DHSgov @TSA Wife and I just got Global Entry. Does that help when getting through TSA security lines?

TRAVEL NIGHTMARE. The American People are paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Across the country, travelers are facing HOURS long wait times at airports and our @TSA officers are being forced to work without pay.   Democrats must END the shutdown, fund DHS, and pay our TSA agents.

@TSA How are waits in fort myers/RSW

The chaos at airports is only going to get worse if the Democrat shutdown continues to rage on. The only way this ends is if the political games stop and DHS is fully funded. The traveling public and unpaid TSA officers shouldn’t be held hostage any longer.

Most TSA PreCheck® applicants receive approval notification in 3-5 days, from the date of their in-person appointment, though some applications can take up to 60 days. Applicants can receive updates on their enrollment application status by email, phone, text or by visiting: tsaenrollmentbyidemia.tsa.dhs.gov/ktn-lookup

@AskTSA I applied for a KTN along with my son and wife. They both have received their KTNs and I have not. This is a ridiculous situation as we all applied at the same time. They are purposefully delaying my KTN because they are gay democratic run process. TSA employees need to be paid to do their work. I blame democrats for this situation and for pushing men in women’s bathrooms and child mutilation.

@AskTSA, hello the family line at the TSA checkpoint? Does it require you to have a stroller to use it? We just got turned away because we didn't have a stroller and had to use the standard.

@FLLFlyer I see that other airports (Denver, Orlando, Cleveland, Seattle) are providing a way for people to donate food or gift cards to TSA workers to help them during the shutdown. Is there any way that passengers flying out of FLL can do the same? #FLL @TSA @AFGETSAC100

@AskTSA Hi, my Global Entry is active but TSA PreCheck is not showing on my boarding pass. My KTN is 164229280. I recently updated my passport in my account—could this be the issue? My flight is today in the afternoon. I would really appreciate your help.

@TSA @EverYounGloria Is there a go fund me we can donate to? Have to help!

Some TSA officers can’t afford gas to drive to work because they aren’t getting paid. Democrats must end their DHS shutdown immediately.

@TLangbein80815 TSA's passenger and baggage screening operations will continue during a government shutdown.

@AskTSA can you confirm security coverage for delayed flights tonight at San Antonio airport?

Items that are lost or left behind at the screening checkpoint or checked baggage areas are turned in to the appropriate lost and found. Most airports have a TSA lost and found and an airport lost and found, we recommend checking with both locations. To find information for a TSA lost and found location, please visit: tsa.gov/contact/lost-a… For items left in other areas of the airport, please check the airport's website for contact information.

@AskTSA where’s the lost and found I can’t find my keys

@drjaminb @TSA @Starbucks @MCO how is the TSA line at MCO?

Everyone's worried about long lines for @TSA at the airport. The lines for @Starbucks @MCO are longer!! #orlando

Thanks for reaching out! Lane hours may vary based on TSA PreCheck® passenger volume & airport operations. However, eligible passengers receive expedited screening in standard lanes if the TSA PreCheck lanes are closed. To see when lanes are available at your airport, pls visit: tsa.gov/precheck/sched…

@AskTSA Can you tell me if TSA Pre-Check lines are still in effect in Terminal 8 at JFK?
