Has anyone seen it lately? MCO can be a nut house for security.

Quite a few people were waiting for family in the regular security lines and were going to miss their flights. Honestly, if you don't have PreCheck or Clear, I would get there 3 hours early.
Was in MCO two days ago. Went through TSA at about 4pm. There was no Premier Access. For the United Gates all non-PreCheck lines were awful. That includes the Clear non-PreCheck line. I was #3 in the Clear PreCheck line for a few minutes with no movement when someone in the Clear non-PreCheck line pointed out to me that there was no line at all for non-Clear pre-check. I know this thread isn't about the Clear mess (it's been awful) but if I didn't have PreCheck I would have waited at least an hour to get through TSA, Clear or no Clear.
Edited to add: They don't have one line for the non-PreCheck. There are many, all parallel. You make your bet as to which will move fastest, and we all know how that turns out.
