(1) I was flying out of las on 11/20/05 gate D at about 9:00 pm. The lines for security check were moving faster than the id and ticket check. The TSA agent announced that it was NOT necessary to show them tickets (so NO SSSS ) LAS is noted for delays through security, the above seems to be new.
(2) On 11/23/05(the day before Thanksgiving) flying out of terminal 8 (AA) from JFK at about 5:30 pm the security lines were relatively short. The TSA agent directing the pax to the next available line, kept things "interesting" by his humorous remarks--he was better than many comedians I have seen on TV or in shows--he is in the wrong job as a TSA worker .
