It’s hard to tell whether the long lines at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are because of spring break or because authorities have broken something that wasn’t broken as much.
In any event, this is happening. Long lines at a new security checkpoint that was designed to get people who aren’t terrorists zipping through security.
Security lines merge at MSP, cross entire terminal. New screening set-up has passengers seething again today. pic.twitter.com/5FMFdjh62u

MSP says you’ll want to get to the airport early.
It’s #SpringBreak and #MSPairport is busy! Pack your patience and get here early – at least 2 hours for domestic departures.

Travelers have their own advice for MSP, however.
@TSA @mspairport PreCheck line yesterday longer than regular screening. Congratulations bureaucracy has won! pic.twitter.com/ruq0trVDbK

Overheard @mspairport from @TSA manager about 90 minute wait times – "what do you want me to do, I just work here"…bravo!

Kind of amazing that your staff is so unhelpful but I guess if airlines got their fare, you don't care. @mspairport @kare11
