Summer of 2006, my family and I flew JKF -> Dublin -> London -> Budapest. It wasn’t until the London -> Budapest flight that the stewardesses caught me using my mom’s sewing scissors to make hemp bracelets. Sharp, pointed, aluminum scissors that made it through 2 securities including JFK and London. Feel safe now? still feel like waiting to go through security?

JFK for sure, It’s terrible and you almost need a bloody translator to understand the TSA agents…

San Diego…I accidentally had a “backpackers” saw packed away in my carry-on and the knuckleheads at TSA put me through the secondary search and still didn’t find it! I got home before I noticed.

Anyone ever wonder how much time could be saved if we didn’t have to be subjected to TSA’s security farce? Apparently it thinks that hassles and long waits equal security.

if the aircraft had a bulkhead between the pilots and the passengers, with the pilots having their own head, but no access to them from the passenger cabin, the government could ease up on the security line. they would only have to strictly check out the pilot, copilot and navigator. the passengers would need no more monitoring than they do to get into a stadium or theater.

no matter what the rest of the passengers did, they could never get to the pilots. it would be like the illegals locked in the trailor shouting to the semi driver as he is moving the rig down the road “let us out or we are going to beat you to a pulp”.

San Diego - 29 minutes (Am. Eagle/United Express)…….AGREE ….TSA there are complete retards. Remember the kids that used to ride the short bus to school. They all work for the TSA now in the San Diego Commuter Terminal.

Have they never checked out Orlando at ANY time of the year? Even in the off season, the lines snake around poles and trash cans, and often all the way back to the moving sidewalks. Horrible, Horrible. All my trips start out through DFW - and I have never had to wait, except the first morning they enacted the ‘no liquids’ rule.

Not too sure DFW is correct. I’ve gone throug this airport very frequently and it’s no more than 10 minutes wait. Also, Miami should be NUMBER ONE!!! Worst airport to go through security, and I feel sorry for the passengers who are making connection there. The “walkway” is on the outside of the secured area, and the distance between terminals can be up to 30 minutes walk.

The secret to getting through Atlanta is to use the security checkpoint for the “T” gates, which can be found away from the main checkpoint. Its at the end of the ticketing/checkin corridor on the north side of the main terminal.

It can save an otherwise aggravating wait and I’ve used it a few times when actually leaving from ATL and not simply connecting through.

Security lines at Tampa, from my experience, move quickly. They are staffed by polite and good-natured personnel. My longest wait there may have been fifteen minutes. The airport’s “hub” system of gate dispersement may have something to do with this - - breaking down passengers at security check-points to more manageable numbers.

JFK is terrible, terrible, terrible. Longest lines, rudest and stupidest employees– just terrible.
