"Please plan to arrive at least 2 hours before departure..."

I received from DAL today a "Stay on top of TSA changes" email this morning offering tips on how to stay on top of "the busy summer travel season."

Among those tips was "For your upcoming domestic flight please plan to arrive at least 2 hours before departure..."

For domestic trips I generally arrive one hour prior to push, and the two-hour suggestion strikes me as over the top. I suppose at some chronically slow airports, but I can't imagine in most cases getting there two hours early.

Am I being naive?
