What have people experienced in Security delays due to Govt shutdown at NYC airports
I have upcoming flights LGA-MSY and JFK-LHR (PreCheck both). A recent article in the Dail Mail said lines were getting longer at both airports and that PreCheck lanes were being closed.

Speaking of NYC airports... HPN
On Thursday morning at 0600 (while TSA were still getting paid), the Global Entry/Pre-check) line had 1 person in front of me. The regular line was much longer than normal. The line snaked around to the baggage claim area. Estimated 25 minute line with 1 lane open.

I arrived around 7.30 - 8.00 pm last Wednesday and it was all very smooth. But then again there didn’t appear to be many international arrivals at that time.
All it takes is an arrival from an exotic destination and the lines build up quickly.

Yeah, Sunday afternoon might pose a different set of problems than a Wednesday night.

LGA ground stop breaks the deadlock in Washington
It is quite appropriate that a ground stop @ LGA forced an end to the US government shutdown today. According to CA news reports, flights to/from LGA were delayed by up to 2 hours.
I transited both SFO & EWR mid week. While neither was shutdown, averyone at the security checkpoints was talking about the impact of Trump's shutdown on airports.
