Having experienced TPA...the line seems to be either 1min or north of 60min. The TSA should be expected to show level of control over the experience of those being screened. Variable lines are to be expected, the huge variations you see at some airports like TPA and IAD are related to the inability of TSA to effectively staff positions at the necessary times.
