Has TSA checking IDs slowed down the security lines?
...compared to the private, contracted ID checkers? Are the lines longer now compared to 2001-2006, when contracted ID checkers checked IDs? Because I remember seeing people complain about slow lines way before TSA took over the ID check, so what's the difference now? Is it real - more slower... or is it no difference, that we just happen to see some slow ID checkers, and that most are pretty quick? When I flew from Sacramento on January 21st, the lines were pretty quick, all x-ray lanes were open, and ID checking/BP signing took only about 15-30 secs - and yes, that included the blacklight check.
So, what do you think?
