在美国政府部分停摆期间，达美航空公司正在暂停其通常为国会议员提供的特殊服务，而部分机场的乘客在安全检查队伍中等待数小时。
由于资金僵局，无薪工作的美国运输安全管理局（TSA）工作人员缺勤率飙升，导致美国机场人员短缺和混乱。达美航空周二表示，将暂时停止对议员的”特色服务”，理由是自身资源紧张。
通常情况下，此类服务可能包括为政府人员提供机场护送和所谓的”红大衣”协助。随着这些服务的暂停，乘坐达美航空的议员将面临与其他乘客相同的不便。
“由于长期政府停摆对资源造成影响，达美航空将暂时暂停为乘坐达美航空的国会议员提供特色服务，”该航空公司在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中表示。”除安全外，达美航空的首要任务是照顾员工和客户，而在当前环境下这变得越来越困难。”
一些国会议员可能仍然会在达美航空获得优先待遇，这取决于他们作为SkyMiles会员的身份，而不是因为他们的政府职位。
在休斯顿乔治·布什洲际国际机场等待长时间安全检查的旅客告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的妮可·桑加，他们希望国会通过一项为政府提供资金并使其全面重新开放的法案。
一些乘客还抱怨说，在排队接受检查时，他们获取水和空调等必需品的机会有限，对其他紧急情况可能如何处理表示担忧。
参议院即将达成一项为大部分国土安全部提供资金并结束六周停摆的协议。一群参议院共和党人周一晚上在白宫与特朗普总统会面后回到国会大厦，对可能达成的协议表示乐观。
当被记者问及共和党人是否有解决方案时，阿拉巴马州参议员凯蒂·布里特表示：”我们有。”参议院共和党人表示，他们周二向民主党人发出了正式提议，旨在本周晚些时候解决僵局。

Delta suspends special services for lawmakers amid government shutdown
March 24, 2026 / 2:59 PM EDT / CBS News
Delta Air Lines is suspending special services it usually offers to members of Congress as passengers at some airports wait for hours in security screening lines during the partial U.S. government shutdown.
Absences have soared among TSA officers working without pay amid the funding impasse, leading to staffing shortages and chaos at U.S. airports. Delta said Tuesday that it will temporarily halt “specialty services” for lawmakers, citing the strain on its own resources.
Ordinarily, such services can include airport escorts for government personnel and so-called Red Coat assistance. With such services suspended, lawmakers traveling on Delta will face the same inconveniences as other passengers.
“Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” the airline said in a statement to CBS News. “Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”
Some members of Congress may still receive preferred treatment on Delta, depending on their status as SkyMiles members, but not because of their position in government.
Travelers waiting in long security screening lines at George Bush International Continental Airport in Houston told CBS News’ Nicole Sganga that they want Congress to pass a measure to fund and fully reopen the government.
Some passengers also complained that they had limited access to water and other essentials, like air conditioning, while waiting in line to be screened, expressing concern about how other emergencies might be handled.
The Senate is closing in on a deal to fund the bulk of the Department of Homeland Security and end the six-week shutdown. A group of Senate Republicans met with President Trump at the White House on Monday evening and returned to the Capitol optimistic about a possible deal.
Asked by reporters if Republicans had a solution, Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama said, “We do.” Senate Republicans said they sent Democrats a formal offer on Tuesday as they aim to resolve the impasse later this week.
