In fact, some articles and some members' experiences have indicated little effect on TSA airport security, but significant reductions of overtime with USCBP resulting in longer queues at some airports. USA Today reported delays at LAX, for example, even following some passengers being held on arriving aircraft for as long as an hour prior to being allowed to disembark. Link .

Prior to that, USCBP had stated they would institute some mitigation measures.

Unless hings change for the better, summer could be a bit tougher for USCBP and possibly TSA lines / queues.
