Security lines at airports are getting longer — much longer — and wait times could reach epidemic levels when air travel peaks this summer, according to airlines, airports and federal officials.

A combination of fewer Transportation Security Administration screeners, tighter budgets, new checkpoint procedures and growing numbers of passengers is already creating a mess at airports around the country.

While federal security officials say they are hiring and training hundreds of additional screening officers, matters are not expected to improve anytime soon.


I mean after I read some of the tweets
unbelievable waits

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

1. Get Global Entry, NEXUS or Pre

It is generally offensive that any of the above exist, but your life we be a lot easier participating in those programs.

2. I'm not sure how

I can't remember the last time I had to wait more than 15 minutes. If you frequently travel through some of the NYC airports that are problematic perhaps, but the vast majority of wait times are just not that long. The media makes a lot bigger deal of this than it really is.

3. I don't know which airports you're travelling through

But the only airport I use regularly where TSA lines aren't insane is SNA.

4. Nationwide, less than two percent of passengers waited in line longer than 20 minutes
