The Department of Homeland Security reactivated its Global Entry program Wednesday morning.

The fast-track service for pre-approved travelers entering the U.S. was paused last month because of the partial government shutdown.

A DHS spokesperson said the decision was intended to help alleviate the disruptions to travelers caused by the shutdown. A handful of U.S. airports have seen long security lines and delays lasting for hours in recent days amid a shortage of airport screeners.
