HOUSTON â The ongoing government shutdown will cause headaches for air travelers.
The Houston Airport System announced on Saturday that security wait times will increase at Bush and Hobby airports. On Sunday, officials warned that TSA wait times may now exceed 90 minutes at Bush Intercontinental Airport and 60 minutes at Hobby Airport.
Security lines have been reduced as the TSA and air traffic controllers face staffing issues. Though both are considered essential workers, air traffic controllers have increasingly called out sick since the shutdown began.

TSA wait times may exceed 60 minutes at Houston's airports
Wait times at TSA checkpoints at Houston airports have skyrocketed over the weekend.
HOUSTON – Travelers flying out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) are being advised to arrive significantly earlier than usual as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) wait times are exceeding over three hours.
Airport officials released a statement urging travelers to factor in extra time for parking, checking luggage, and completing the security screening process.
The high wait times are compounded by reduced checkpoint availability. The airport currently has only two TSA checkpoints operational: Terminal A and Terminal E.
If you're traveling through Houston's Bush or Hobby Airports this weekend, you'll need to have some extra time and patience due to reduced security checkpoints.
