I’d like to revise my statement. IAH is marginally worse than usual.
50 minutes for me.

Exactly my point. My brain knew that Tues would be off peak and not an issue. But I was swayed by all the hype and here I sit.

quote:I flew out this past Monday. Media mayhem made the Mrs. nervous so we showed up at 8:40 for our 12:40 flight since the earliest you can check bags is 4 hours prior. Our bags were checked and we were through security by 8:55. Yes, we used Clear, but the normal TSA line was reportedly just over an hour wait.
Monday is the busiest day to fly MSY
The media members were lined up against the wall on the ticketing concourse floor overlooking the screening area. They were all sitting down looking extremely bored. They were waiting for something newsworthy to happen but it wasn’t a long wait yet.

TBF that for an airport of its size, the TSA area is massive. They can be half staffed and it would be adequate.

The media will always show or give you the worst case scenario. They only have jobs if there is chaos to report.

It will be really bad Friday, Saturday and Sunday because that is when my TSA agent friends like to call out of work. They tell me there is no use wasting sick time Monday through Thursday.

Just went through clear at Msy. 10 minutes tops.

This was my exact experience this past weekend flying out of Houston IAH terminal C and returning from Orlando. Spent a total of 5 hours between both flights hanging out for boarding. TSA was no problem at either airports.

Definitely playing their part here.
They have folks panicked so they are showing up at the N.O. airport at 2 a.m. even though they don't open security until 3:30. So you get 100's lined up for a great photo opportunity and because it's so congested so early it takes much longer than would normally to cycle through that early congestion and you get a couple of more shots of lines to spread more panic.

I think early mornings are the worst bc people for 9:30 flights are showing up for 6.

Vote failed again yesterday.
TSA Agents will miss another paycheck tomorrow.
Can't imagine this getting better this weekend
