When I exited EWR in the evening of 12/30, I saw the line for general security check stretching well onto the second level of Terminal C. Not terribly surprising, IMO, with tons of people traveling. Now, if the Precheck side lanes (CLEAR and non-CLEAR) had similar delays, that would be a real issue.
I suspect that a lot of any recent issues have to do with extremely high levels of holiday travel, and I would expect that things should normalize this week. I'll ask my wife (who travels first among us this year, on Wednesday) how things are looking.
