Airports with the Longest TSA Lines

We’ve been warned about long lines at TSA security checkpoints this summer, but which airports have the longest lines?

JFK, Miami and San Francisco may have the longest wait times.

 

During some peak periods, the wait time to go through security at JFK was 22 minutes and 48 seconds.

 

And what airports have the shortest wait times?

 

Baltimore, Washington, San Antonio and San Jose perform very well.

 

Other airports with notably short average wait times include Palm Beach International, St. Louis and Ontario International in California, which registered an average of four minutes and six seconds.
