December 9, 2003 - 6:20am - elite line took 46 minutes. Non-elite took 43 minutes. Yes, there were more elite/1sts than non at this time of the early morning.

Later that day (after 9am) the wait was less than 10 minutes, according to associates who took the later flight.

I was told the early morning rush at security is always insane.

I will never fly from SNA before 9am in the future.
