Even prebooked my parking spot in short term

Straight QR code scanning. No wait times. No full signs.

You can download the TSA app and find out for yourself in real time.

If you have both CLEAR and Precheck, you very rarely have to wait longer than 10 mins or so. Often just walk right through. Worth whatever the cost is.

From all I’ve read MSY is normal.
IAH is a clusterfrick it sounds like.

He can download it. But it’s useless. It’s not being updated during shutdown.

Can confirm. Flew to Vegas a couple weeks ago and I think I was through PreCheck in 4 minutes.

No issue getting through pre-check in <5 min last Wednesday morning. FWIW the regular security line looked to be moving pretty quickly as well.

You know at MSY the security lane splits with regular passengers on left and handicapped/priority on the right. No one is gate keeping. The last three time i had priority boarding i went to the right and got in the short line and no one checked anything. Not precheck or clear. The first class line.
Use this info as you wish.

Traveling this morning and went through security around 8:15.

No issues. Business as usual. No lines.

I've been to MSY for early flights, and they just let you through without much hassle. No taking off your shoes and stuff like that.

Wait times have been no different for me at MSY, LaGuardia, Midway or LAX since the shutdown.

or clear + and you already have your own precheck?

Had no wait this morning at BTR. Just walked up to TSA agent and scanned my ID.

Even ATL was flowing this morning. Precheck took about 15 minutes from start of the line through the machines.

ATC was another story but we made it out.
