Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Travelers around the country have faced long security lines at airports because of the partial federal government shutdown and lower staffing levels at the Transportation Security Administration.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport officials said operations remained normal Tuesday. But they cautioned that conditions could change in the coming days and urged travelers to arrive early and allow extra time to get through security.
