It's TSA.

BTW some airports post wait time information. It would be especially useful if you find real time pictures including the signs saying that wait time from here is XX minutes.

Kind of like the signs Disneyland start posting decades ago?

It's not. It's a CBP website/resource. It focuses only on (some) US airports with international terminals/flights.

Well, they're not TSA wait times (security checkpoint, departing flights), they're CBP wait times (immigration/customs, incoming flights). Which is why it only has international airports/terminals.

It doesn't tell you anything about a flight out of LAX, only about flights into LAX.

Accurate? Who knows?

TSA wait time tracker - Anything real-time?
 
http://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/wait_times_detail.aspx

I found that. But it appears to be "crowdsourced", and is definitely not constantly updated.

Earlier this year, I recall hearing announcements that they were going to start posting the average wait times. I know they're also working on updated bins & other things to improve the process/tracking, but this was unrelated. It was a few months back when the wait times really started to get ridiculous.

https://www.alaskaair.com/content/tr...e:TSAwaittimes

Alaska is posting SEA wait times. So if they have the capability to do it, then I assume there's some API that they're relying on.

Is there a TSA/DHS site somewhere that has real-time tracking?

Or should we start building a wiki here that contains all of the airline/airport specific links that are displaying it?
