LaGuardia has fairly quick security lines. Also, the nature of the service of US and DL there (with shuttle service guaranteeing a seat if you arrive at the gate within 3 minutes of departure time), means that the airlines have to be more competitive in terms of all aspects of speed.

If TSA dragged the speed of security checkpoints at LGA past 10 minutes, there would be a lot of noise.

I regularly leave my house in midtown within forty minutes of departure time (when traffic is light).
