I don't get it... I moved to the Montgomery County area 5 months ago and have been flying regularly for work at peak travel times. I am yet to wait in line for security at IAD... perhaps 2 or 3 people ahead of me, max.

By contrast, I've never NOT waited in line at least 10 min at DCA (usually much longer) for Terminal B (CO) or C (US Shuttle) security.

Not to mention, traffic on the GWP or stoplights through DC makes the trip from Bethesda to DCA consistantly longer than zipping down the IAD access road (on which I have never experienced traffic).

Perhaps my dumb luck? But... that's a pattern of consistant luck. I wish I could say I was that lucky.

What am I missing?
