That's crap. The longest line I was ever in at BUF (one of my two home airports) went out the door to the sidewalk and we were still through in less than 10 minutes. I fly 100K+ a year and BUF is the best security in the country (with BDL as a close second). And with checking a bag, you don't even need to be there at the initial boarding as you don't need overhead space. My aim is to have the car parked and be inside and in the security line at approx 40 mins before departure and I've never had a problem at any hour, with the early morning flights being the busiest time at BUF.
