I went to Phx out of MSP on Friday morning. 9:30 am flight that I was warned I needed 3 hours for ontop of a 3 hour drive to get to MSP. (do the math..it was ugly) Got my eticket and was in the WC in 15 minutes.
Returned this morning on a 8am flight out of PHX. Got to the airport at 6:40. Due to the old people trying to work the eticket printer (and I'm 50, so you know these folks were OLD) it took a me 40 minutes to get to the gate.
In short, much ado about nothing..
