Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy - BWI travelers are being told to arrive FOUR HOURS ahead of their flight!
Thank a Democrat for this mess.

People entering security checkpoint at 3:00pm at BWI reported they arrived to line up at 9:00am. The line triple loops the length of the airport outside and passengers report it snakes around inside for another 2 hours.

Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy - Hey Matt, I know the airport experience is far from perfect, and Democrats just made it worse by not funding TSA, triggering crazy long security lines. But over at @USDOT, we’re currently working our hearts out to give the country a brand new air traffic control system that will improve safety and on-time departures/arrivals with new radars, electronic flight strips, digital radios, and a fiber optic telecommunications network to replace the dated copper wire system we presently use.
And that's just the work being done right now!
In a few weeks I’m inviting the media over to DOT HQ to meet my team of experts and show you all we are doing to overhaul America’s ATC & usher in a golden age of travel.
I think you will be impressed, and I’m personally inviting you to join us. Hope you can join us, Matt.

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster.
Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore.
Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.
