I am not and have never been a fan of TSA. That being said. Have you ever noticed the amount of stuff that many are trying to bring through? You are supposed to carry one carry on item along with a smaller bag such as a laptop bag, purse, etc. Many seem to be bringing everything they own. Sorry, but were I running the airlines there would be a strict limit. One small carry on period. You want to speed up the process? Start making the passengers a little more responsible. I spend way too much time in an airport security checkpoint waiting on folks in front of me with numerous bags, earbuds in their ears or on cell phones not paying attention to anything.

Spirt Airlines limits the carry on bag to something about briefcase size and charges more for bigger carry on bags than for the same size check bags.
Weird thing is that it is an ultra budget airline with super low fares. But they do charge for everything extra and I mean everything!
We put up with their nickel and dime charges for everything because they serve little regional airports which allow us to skip mammoth parking fees and long TSA lines. Just bring a few dollars to purchase bottled water in the gate side vending machine and pack a few granola bars.
