Newark Security Checkpoints
What's up with the TSA security checkpoints at Newark? Flew into Newark Friday morning and saw that C-2 was only allowing wheelchairs. Departed on Sunday night to the same. C-3 was packed with lines snaking down the escalator to the departures middle level. The outsourced security guard couldn't even tell where the regular line ended because he spent most of the time trying to keep the pre-check lane in order. It took 20 minutes to get through pre-check. Lots of people were running for their flight after security.
Does anyone know the cause? The gate agent said United had sent out an internal email and that TSA was at fault.
