The Hawaii inspection lines are usually quick

I am also much more likely to drive than fly when the distance isn't too long. Just over a year ago I drove from Peoria to central Nebraska (9 hours) rather than fly. In the pre-TSA days, that would have been unthinkable for me.

If I make an interline connection somewhere, I always research in advance which airlines use which terminals at the connecting airport so I can connect without changing terminals and having to get re-screened.

How have the rest of you altered your travel patterns to minimize your interaction with the TSA?
When I land in HNL to go to KOA you take the wiki-wiki shuttle and do not go through security again. Even if you are rescreened, the lines are usually short.
Are you referring to an agricultural inspection screening for fruit flies and other pests?
