Well, I was a casual flyer on this trip, but I fly a lot on business. I cannot remember a single time in the last year that it took me more than 10 minutes to pass through security at any airport.
I do schedule flights that are not at the busiest times at airports. Midday usually works just fine, or very early morning.
I check bags, but always print out my boarding passes and check at the curb, when possible.
I have little tolerance for unnecessary delays, so I've adjusted my schedule to avoid them.
A luxury many of us do not have.

Consider yourself lucky - and in the minority.
