Three to four hours is still a very long time.

It sure is. I've never experienced this yet but have a feeling it would end in my arrest.

I've been through hour+ delays several times, but the longest was the Valentine's Day storm last winter. Three hours! I always travel with my laptop, (absurdly overpriced) water (that can only be purchased behind security), snacks, a paperback novel, and a puzzle book. I feel terribly for novice travelers, folks with medical conditions, and the people traveling with families. Little ones don't do well in situations like that.
