I don't think DHS or TSA is taking the long checkpoint waits very seriously.

Johnson said that he would not characterize the current issue of heightened airport wait times as a national crisis, instead he noted that it is an aviation security imperative.
Ten's of thousands of people missing flights due to TSA incompetence is just an aviation security imperative.

And this, I haven't seen mention of so far.

A reduction in size and number of carry on bags will also result in this new plan, something Secretary Johnson said DHS has been in touch with airlines about recently.
So TSA is now going to direct what size of carry-on bags are allowed? Wonder how that will set with our Road Warriors?

Looks to me that if the airlines continue to allow themselves to be pushed around by government that fairly soon they will have little to no say in how to operate their companies.

If the public wants to see how badly government can operate simple services they need look no further than DHS/TSA.
