I call BS on this. Alaska has a 20-minute guarantee that I've never seen them miss and they deal with TSA the same way as AA. AA simply put just has a terrible baggage system. Whether it is because of the personnel or the system or both, I don't know (my guess is more on the personnel side based on things I've seen), but to blame TSA is just a cop out.
