SA airport reports short TSA wait

Travelers flying in and out of San Antonio are seeing relatively short security lines, with wait times averaging about five to 10 minutes, according to an airport official. However, delays are mounting at several major airports as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) worker absences rise during the partial federal government shutdown. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said airports in cities facing the most significant delays include Atlanta, New Orleans, both Houston airports, Pittsburgh and New York City. Since the shutdown began Feb. 14, DHS said TSA employee “callouts” have more than doubled. Travelers should check with their assigned airline before their trips.
