TSA App Displays Security Wait Times

Summary

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) offers a free app, MyTSA, which displays current security wait times at checkpoints across the country and predicts future wait times. The app also allows users to check whether items in their carry-on bag comply with TSA rules. Additionally, it provides information on TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs. The app was previously offline during government shutdowns but is now available again.


Our Reading

The escape is carefully planned.

With the MyTSA app, you can check security wait times at airports like LaGuardia (LGA) and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). You can also use it to check if items like disposable razors and peanut butter are allowed in carry-on bags. The app even predicts future wait times based on past data. But, as we all know, “predictable” security wait times are just a myth.
