Why is it that MSY and ATL's TSA lines were so much longer than all the other airports?

I read that Houston's Hobby was bad, but MSY and ATL have been the headlines lately.

Under normal circumstances it is bad. I would bet certain people were asked to make things even slower to put pressure on the White House.

Is that why they can not pass the SAVE Act?

I've been thinking this, but they could have done it at numerous other major airports around the country.

Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world lol

Its not really noticeably slower than other airports ive been to as far as speed to get you through the line person by person. The difference is there is just so many people.

Flying out of Baton Rouge or Cincinnati etc is just vastly different, you can generally just walk up to the start of the line on a non holiday day, might be a line of 20 people.

As an example. Baton Rouge Airport has 844,000 passengers a year. Atlanta has 106 million. Its just a different animal

I was flying to denver our of msy and what were most likely liberal women stood behind me complaining how long everything took down here. They probably didn't realize they were showing their white supremacy.

How many respective TSA agents/lines do they have?

I think the point is that ATL, MSY, and HOU are relatively slower than comparably sized airports.

yeah doesn't make sense. I hear about all these issues with TSA and lines but never have seen it. Flew a lot last week and never waited more than 10 minutes in line.
