> But why should the passengers leave? Because having a huge traffic jam of people crammed into the limited capacity of the secure side cannot possibly improve the situation, and is in fact likely to make it worse (e.g., when the overflow starts interfering with passengers for other airlines)? > Being a pain in the ass for the airline seems fair. Southwest is far from the only airline flying out of that airport. Even if you look at their terminal alone, there are three outer airlines flying out of there.
