Worst TSA checkpoint
 
I am a 1P on United so I rarely fly anything else and now I know why.
Flying OUT of SLC the lines at ALL TSA checkpoints for Delta were unbeleivable, worst than any I've ever seen in LAS.
And they are even ruder than usual and the same belt buckle that goes through dozens of other airports won't at SLC and I was using the "International" gat because the regular one was into the parking lot...no exaggeration.

Nah, nothing beats the Southwest gates at BWI for crappy TSA service.

Worst TSA checkpoint? That is a trick question. The answer is ALL of them!

"Improving" TSA checkpoints, processes, or policies is the equivalent of putting perfume on a pig. It is still a pig!

Kansas City - MCI. Not only is the airport like an East German Train Station, the contracted security officers are the most unpleasant I have ever run across.

IME, the folks at MCI are a lot better than some others. At least the ones at the Midwest gates. The airport, however, is not exactly frequent-traveler-friendly.

MCO on a Sunday afternoon is like...well, I'm trying to figure out which circle of hell.

My belt alarmed the other night at LAX when it hasn't in about two years...what's up with that?

very very bad, but part of that is due to the decrepit facilities. good thing the smith gets the wrecking ball later this year!

I've been out of MYR 2x.. and both times I was selected for SSSS. So, they're my least favorite. In fact, that's the only place I've gotten SSSS - and I fly a good bit!

Hooray for missing flights out of MYR! Good thing UA is great about getting me on to later flights..

Agreed.

Every TSA checkpoint is an affront to the principles upon which this nation was founded.

They are all equally worthless. :td:

Try Athens, Greece..the male security guy padded me from head to toe including my groin area. What he did was padded my groin area (specifically penis and balls)... I was pissed off. He said in broken English "sorry security reason". ...!!! Im not lying at all. It did happened in the summer of '04.

Just think of it as an overall craphole experience. They should sell tickets to the implosion of this dump. They'd make a fortune.
