TSA really isn't bad at all these days. Like they are dumb, but being pissed about it seems silly. You don't even take off your shoes anymore and it's a 5 minute queue 95% of the time.
you have to take off your shoes in ATL and that's one of the biggest airports.
I did not as of two months ago. Possibly it is something they occasionally do?
Are you TSA pre screened?
That depends if you get precheck screening, no? And what airport you are flying in/out?
I flew in to JFK last year and I didn't need to remove my shoes when flying in, but needed to when flying back. And then this year, I flew in through PHL and needed to do that. And I had to be scanned in the spinning tube machine 3 different times before they gave up and groped me instead.
Compared to most places in Europe: basically just throw your stuff up on the belt and go through a metal detector.
It'll vary but I haven't had to do it at several airports for most of my travels and I'm typically flying at least 4-5 times a year local and international.
I guess my point is, is really not that invasive or with long lines compared to immediate post 911.
Out of all the shitty things in government, that ain't the hill I die on.
