Anyone who has ever flown through TPA during a TSA shift change when a couple flights are running late so people are late getting to security...

I'm guessing the poster who recommended getting to the airport earlier hasn't been at TPA! When it goes wrong, you could be there a couple hours early and still not make your flight.
