I fly somewhere three weeks out of 4. Honestly, I hadn't seen ANY increase in security lines anywhere until last week. I flew in and out of O'Hare last Wednesday. It was RIDICULOUS!
The wait time in the TSA pre-check line was 30-40 minutes. The "regular" line was easily 200 yards long. I can't imagine how long it must have taken.
The crazy thing was: All security lines seemed to be open and there were PLENTY of TSA agents working. I don't know what they could do to speed it up.
We flew from San Francisco on Monday last week. NO WAIT. What happened from Monday to Wednesday??? That is what needs to be exposed!
