What time were you there?
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.

I flew Monday morning and waited in a multiple hour line n the parking garage…..

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.

Wife is flying out Monday morning. Will everything be back to normal by then?
I flew out this past Monday and it took 5 minutes to get through Clear and security.

I flew back into MSY yesterday and landed at 10:45am. I looked at the TSA line and there was nobody in it. No wait at all.

If she’s using Clear (free 7-day trial), she’ll definitely have no issues. She’ll probably be ok with just normal TSA also.

Monday is the busiest day to fly MSY
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.

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.

I am trying to figure out if the touchless id line is handling both, Clear and Touchless ID OR if they are just using the touchless id for clear only to get away from the TSA lines.
I’m about to board a flight out of MSY. When we checked our baggage, we were told there are 2 lines only. TSA had to go to the parking garage. Clear went straight to the Clear line. It took me less than 5 minutes. You have to show your Clear App to use the stairs/escalator to the line.

I have a feeling this is going to ruin clear. Shame.
The free 2-month trial is what’s going to make it a cluster. Once people have to actually pay, a lot of people will get rid of it.
We got to the airport 4 hours before our flight today. 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. Then we went right to the clear line and through the security checkpoint. That took 5 minutes max.

The TSA line was a 2 hour wait from what we were told, so we got to skip that. Our flight is for 12:40, so we’re just relaxing until then. News crews are all set up for the madness though.

We did see quite a few ICE agents, but they were standing around in groups near entryways.

The yats from down south will shoot first horned thing they see thinking they wont get another chance all season with no corn pile
I mainly hunt the archery only NWR, and the WMAs don’t have long rifle seasons at all, with one of them only being a couple weekends. You can’t bait there anyway.

I think this might keep more of the deer on the refuges instead of them being lured onto private due to baiting. I’m hoping this leads to more mature deer overall. But if it does, word would get out and the public land could get pretty crowded. Either way, has a baiting ban worked anywhere else to keep CWD contained? If so, I’m ignorant to it.

This is where I mainly hunt public at. I’m curious as to how it will impact the hunting over the next few years. Maybe some more of the young ones will have a chance to grow. I’d assume the private land harvest numbers will go down due to the feed ban.

I found out with all this rain over the past couple months that our yard holds way too much water. We have low spots that don’t help either. So I plan on filling in the low spots, adding French drains to bring water to the street so it can go to the drains. After that, I’ll either seed or sod the yard. No sense in doing that until the water situation is taken care of.

I tried to but looks like I only pay for the 1 state property lines. Hopefully someone else with more $ than me can chime in.

I told my students that there is a place in this society for bullying. They looked at me in bewilderment, so I explained what I meant to them. My course evaluations were still 4.9 out of 5. There's hope for our college students.

I used this for fall pre-emergent and the results were A1

Same here in North Louisiana with great results. My wife and I were driving through the neighborhood yesterday and it's amazing how different the yards looks compared to those that obviously didn't use a pre-emergent. I applied another round last week before it rained so hopefully it continues to do its thing.

My great uncle had it. It doesn't kill people that fast
It can absolutely kill people that fast. My coworker passed recently from ALS and it went incredibly fast. His doctor told him it’s different for everyone, but if the symptoms start high on the body (voice, neck, head, etc.), it goes much quicker than if the symptoms start lower on the body. I can’t attest to that being the case, but it was for him. It started in his vocal cords, and he passed less than a year after symptoms started.

ETA - he had bulbar-onset ALS and the life expectancy is much shorter for people with that type. High-up is what he told me but it looks like bulbar-onset is when the first symptoms are with the vocal cords and swallowing muscles.

This is my 70th day in the woods, 112th sit
I’m not sure how may actual sits I had this season but I was out there 73 days. I had quite a few all day sits and some 2 a days with a lunch break. I have a very supportive wife. Maybe she just doesn’t like seeing me!
