Insane lines at NYC airports spark 3-hour wait times as shutdown chaos spurs travel nightmare
NY Post
The TSA funding crisis is wreaking havoc at Big Apple airports, with frustrated air travelers waiting up to three hours just to check in for their flights.
“It’s insane,” stranded Texas traveler Chip B, 66, said Sunday after spending 45 minutes on the pre-check line at LaGuardia Airport’s packed Terminal B. “If this is about getting short-handed with TSA agents, c’mon, let’s get them hired.”
Chris, a 54-year-old Connecticut resident, had harsher words for US lawmakers.
“Get their s—t together,” he snapped. That’s what they need to do.
“My big thing is TSA work isn’t a great job in the first place,” he said while trying to board a flight to Fort Lauderdale. “They’re not getting paid while the politicians who are screwing up everything are getting paid.”
One frazzled airline worker summed it up for The Post: “It’s crazy.”
