Is it that bad over there now? I have never flown domesic in the us, i mean i had heard it was bad, but i had assumed tey were just the worst of the worst horror stories.
- rayiner 11y agoI just took a flight DCA - ORD the other day. Stood in line maybe 5-6 minutes. I regularly get sub-10 minute trips through security at BWI. I think people confuse airport congestion with security holdups. Carry-on x-rays have been mandated for a very long time (long before 9/11). And people always had to walk one-at-a-time through the metal detectors. What's happened over the last 25 years or so is a massive increase in air travel in the U.S., without a corresponding increase in airport capacity.
- baby 11y agoI went to ORD 7 times this last year, plus went there to pick up people 6 other times. I think maybe once I didn't have to wait for more than 30min. Also waited 3 hours for someone to cross the border last time I was there (obviously non-american, after she had spent 13 hours in a plane). This is just backwards. > Carry-on x-rays have been mandated for a very long time You didn't have to wait so much. You didn't have to go barefoot. You didn't have to go through the "get naked" machine.
