Believe it: airport security speeding up
Believe it or not, clearing security at most airports is getting better, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Domestic passengers are seldom spending more than ten minutes at checkpoints, says the TSA.
Two years ago, passengers frequently waited an hour or more.
"It’s getting progressively better," said Stuart Klaskin, a Miami-based aviation consultant and frequent flier. "It’s more of a streamlined process."
Why is that?
Partly, it is because the recession has dampened air travel. But mainly, it is the result of new procedures and technology, TSA officials say.
The agency hopes to make the security process even easier, but not necessarily faster, in the future.
"We’re really focusing on making sure it’s a comfortable experience," said Sari Koshetz, TSA spokeswoman. "The goal is to be as customer friendly as possible and to be as secure as possible."
