  • Find a link in our show notes to get your tickets before they sell out, which they did very quickly last time.

  • See you there.

  • Waiting in the security line at the airport is never fun.

  • But right now, it's really not fun because the lines these days are out of control.

  • At Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, one of the busiest airports in the country,

  • the TSA line stretches so far back, you ca n't even see where it starts.

  • This is actually still the TSA pre-check line.

  • This line now wraps outside.

  • So if you think about it wraps around the inside four different times.

  • In Houston, the security line doesn't just stretch.

  • It descends.

  • It curves past the departure zone, downstairs through baggage claim.

  • And spills out onto yet another floor.

  • Stay at home.
