Okay, let's be honest here - let's see a show of hands for those who believe that the lines at airports for going through security has became slower and the whole security process now feels longer than it used to, due to the TSA taking over ID checks - compared to the contract checkers before TSA took over.
Or, do you think it's due to increased passengers travelling?
Are less x-rays open now due to ID checking/SPOT? Or is that just my imagination?
Curious for your perspectives in general. I know we've talked about this in other threads, but there has been so many perspectives that I'm curious once and for all if airport security has slowed down for real, or if it just has been a flux.

While there will generally be an increase in fliers over a given time..unless something catastrophic happens...the TSA nonsense (and the international changes it had forced in many places) in all its forms has clearly slowed things down...no way that can be argued legitimately by anyone...all who will try are simply stirring things or attempting to justify that pathetic excuse for security.
