YOU’LL WAIT LONGER IN TSA SECURITY LINES AT THE NATION’S BUSIEST AIRPORTS … NOW AND THROUGH THE SUMMER TRAVEL SEASON. SOME PASSENGERS HAVE MISSED FLIGHTS, EVEN AFTER GETTING TO THE AIRPORT THREE HOURS IN ADVANCE OF THEIR FLIGHT. TSA SPOKESMAN NICO MELENDEZ TELLS US TSA OFFICERS ARE TAKING MORE TIME TO CHECK BAGS BECAUSE THEY FOUND MORE THAN 2-THOUSAND HANDGUNS IN CARRY-ON BAGS LAST YEAR.
HE SAYS THE WAIT IS ONLY ABOUT 20 MINUTES AT THE SUNPORT … BUT HE CAN’T PREDICT IF THAT WILL CHANGE AS THE TRAVEL SEASON PICKS UP.
MELENDEZ SAYS KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR CARRY-ON LUGGAGE AND ALLOW TWO TO THREE HOURS TO ARRIVE BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT.
