TSA publishes average/maximum wait times

...broken down by day-of-week, time-of-day, and checkpoint location. Very very handy, and based on my sampling at DTW and SEA, generally accurate.

IMHO those numbers are very suspect - for example, you are not going to get through Terminal 1 security at LAX in less than 10 minutes! I think the T S A starts counting when you get to the back of their line - if you have to wait an hour to get to that point, they don't count it.

I would recommend checking Airport Wait Times instead, although it may not always apply at airports with different terminals for different airlines.
