US debt ceiling and ATC/TSA, CBP?
I have a business trip to the US coming up for mid June. I vaguely remember there were disruptions of ATC and security in the past but couldn't find anything on the net. Did that happen / is it likely to happen again?
What about CBP and land crossings? I have the chance to route all transatlantic flying to Canada and enter by car. Is that a safer bet?
Thanks
PS: found this, doesn't sound too scary

I remember travelling during another debt crisis more like 20 years ago and it was hardly noticable

Both Republicans and Democrats know full well what will happen if "full faith and credit" of the US Government ceases to have substantial reliability.
I'm expecting small US airports that don't have international service might lose ATC or see degraded service... but it seems unlikely that JFK will shut down
