It’s official…..Passport Day has been cancelled due to the possibility of a government shutdown. No new date has been announced.
Should the government shut down tonight, you can expect that Passport day will be cancelled tomorrow. The State department will only be issuing emergency passports until the government opens for business.
If th shutdown does occur, air traffic controllers will work and TSA will work so it shouldn’t have too much effect on travel. Both are considered essential services and continue no matter what. Sadly, hundreds of thousands of their government employee brethren will not get paid. .
But have no fear, Congress is looking out for themselves. They consider themselves essential employees. Regardless of what happens, they get paid.
