It won't help when the TSA decides to shut down a checkpoint or otherwise shift resources around but there are things that CO can do to ameliorate the situation.
If the TSA would have more than half the metal detectors or xrays open once in a while, that would help. I've never seen the checkpoints fully staffed, and that's what causes the line. The maroon coats just screw it up further.
