Delta Air Lines has cut off special services for members of Congress at airports, as the industry continues to feel the effects of the government's failure to pay Transportation Security Administration workers.

On Tuesday morning, Delta issued a statement saying it would temporarily suspend specialty services for members of Congress "due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown."

Members of Congress are given special treatment at airports, including expedited screening, escorts through airports to bypass long security lines, and dedicated reservation desks that, among other things, allow them to make last-minute changes.

TSA workers hit their third period without a paycheck since funding for parts of the Department of Homeland Security was halted because of an impasse between the White House and Congress over immigration enforcement and voting policies.
