Security lines snaking out the airport, and the TSA hasn't even finished its layoffs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byUVR04CMBU&feature=youtu.beIncredible footage of the TSA line at Chicago Midway airport yesterday, which snakes out the airport atrium and into the surrounding transit hallways -- it's hundreds of yards long.
It follows news of massive layoffs at the TSA, though apparently most of the planned firings haven't happened yet, so it's only going to get worse.
The only bright spot is that the airlines themselves appear to be at the end of their tether: the lines are depriving them of passengers who must be rebooked. And, thanks to the Brussels attacks, everyone knows that the compressed packs of humans created by airport security theater are a prime target in their own right.
Good to know no dangerous breast milk got on those half-empty flights, though.
