After 2 weeks jumping through US airports recently (currently at LAX on a Qantas A380 headed home), I can't understand all the unnecessary waiting at security clearance.
I've rarely waited longer than 5 minutes to clear security at any airport in Australia, the queues flow quickly and efficiently- cf. my recent experiences at LAX, Charlotte Douglas and JFK where I made sure I was turning up 3 hours early for domestic flights, and still came close to missing at JFK despite having a priority line through frequent flier level.
What a joke. The procedures are unnecessary and demeaning.
It looks like they could improve efficiency by just having a longer conveyor for the XR machine! Pathetic.

- prawn 10y agoMissed a flight at LAX by two minutes the other week despite showing up almost two hours early. Wasn't going to be enough time to get through security/etc. Very frustrating. Was just thinking about longer conveyor belts too. The body scanner is rarely a chokepoint. Seems to be either the guy manning the x-ray machine, or people loading/unloading on the conveyor.
