If you mean in terms of competence, no, that’s never going to happen.

A few years ago, one of them called a supervisor because I had a solid stainless steel replica of a bullet on my keychain. Even if it was real brass, there was a hole drilled through it for the key ring.

Senate billed slightly flawed, House amended it, but Senate had already taken off for break with House following right after they passed their amended version.

But I doubt any Dem will file a lawsuit on Trump’s executive order or that a Dem judge will put a stop on order if a lawsuit filed until at least after Easter.

I think one should be filed though that forces this to be a temporary and short term solution. Congress keeps letting judges and presidents legislate for them. It’s amazing that a filibuster can still hold up multiple bills while all Senators are gone.

Which OT moderate filmed himself calling out black ICE officers for being foot soldiers for a Fascist regime??

TSA has only been bad on sundays and Mondays at MSY. I wouldn’t be concerned flying any other day

Even then, it’s only if they decide that day is a “call in sick” day.

How to find out what the local TSA agents are planning is the real trick I don’t know the answer to yet.

The days it has been bad, which has really only been 3 days so far, it was a coordinated effort. So far it has been 2 Mondays and a Sunday. Every other day has operated like normal.

It’s also not isolated to MSY, so if she is flying back through Houston, New York or Atlanta she could potentially be dealing with it on the return trip as well

Congrats, but that wasn't Clear though. There was no waiting for Clear on Monday at all.

The TSA line was normal length from what the agents said. They said it was about an hour and a half wait for the normal TSA (not pre-check) when I was at the airport.

So like I said, if she uses Clear, no problem at all. If she uses TSA, I guess it could be hit or miss. But 3-hours early should be absolutely fine.

First, you quoted where I said I used Clear and had pretty much no wait at all and told me you waited in an hours-long line in the garage. Your TSA wait had nothing to do with the Clear line, so I'm not sure what your point was in quoting me.

But I'll play your little game. This past Monday, we got to the airport 4 hours before our 12:40pm flight because the wife was nervous based on the media nightmare stories. We went directly to the clear terminals to finish our registration, and that took maybe 2 minutes. We went back up and checked our bags. No wait at all to check our bags. Then we went right to the clear line and through the security checkpoint. That took 5 minutes max.

When we got to the airport, the TSA agents let us know that if you were using Clear, you could go down the escalator to the Clear gate. If you were using normal TSA or TSA pre-check, that you had to go down to the parking garage and get in line, and he said the line was normal for a Monday and was about an hour and a half long. That was right around 8:40am.

From talking to people in the terminal itself after the security checkpoint, they also said the TSA lines weren't as bad as they were expecting based on Sunday's lines that were reportedly 3 and 4 hours long.

Did you miss your flight? What time did you show up and how bad was it exactly? That info could help the OP.

Multiple stories out there. It was super packed at 5am but people said it was “moved efficiently” for being crowded. Better than last weekend by a lot supposedly
