At 2pm today there was no one at all in line at BWI. I asked the counter agent about this, and she said they only have those huge lines after some sort of a security mishap, of which there have been 4 lately.</font>
Depending on which airline you took, that could be a flat out lie. There were no security breaches that I am aware of at BWI during the Christmas rush, and the line at Southwest was so long that people showing up three hours before their flight was due to leave didn't make it.
That's ridiculous.
