At DCA (where they have multiple, smaller security checkpoints for terminals B & C) TSA seems to ensure the line is never longer than ~30 minutes. However in BOS, where there's only one massive (cattle-herd) checkpoint for JetBlue gates, there are often only 3 lanes open (out of 8 or 10) and the lines can quickly back-up into being a 75+ minute wait.
IAD has multiple checkpoints you can use to get to the B gates
