Why not give a 'security line' time (like the current gateline time). If the passenger is there before that time, then the flight waits for them, or they're put on the next flight.
That seems to sidestep the issue neatly. As a passenger, security is not a discrete part of the process. I'm actually surprised that airlines haven't done more to make the security experience more streamlined.

- frogpelt 10y agoDo you know if the airlines pay the TSA for the security? It seems like adding some direct private funding and influence would help alleviate some of these issues. Of courses that would affect ticket prices, but an extra hundred per passenger wouldn't be such a bad thing if it drastically improved the situation.
- jschwartzi 10y agoThe airport contracts wee with the TSA. US airports can contract with private security as long as the procedure is TSA-approved.
- lg 10y agothe government does not need private funding when it can just reach into your pocket, in this case to collect the September 11 Security Fee which airlines attach to your ticket on behalf of TSA.
