The TSA slow downs over funding just expose it as the joke that it is...

I don't understand how this can be happening, but then I haven't looked up the whys of it yet. Ah, I see your link somewhat covers it.

Good luck re your flight.

Mmmm, wonder how Mexico's airlines are doing these days (I live relatively near their border.) I've not flown with them for decades now.

Phoenix Airport: Luggage screening resumes after massive backup


Long TSA lines: How long will this go on?

I flew with Aeronaves and Mexicana, if I remember the names, more and better with Mexicana. Most of those flights were quite good, but on one of them, a guy got off the plane on landing (I remember him as having to do with the airline but that was long ago) and knelt on the ground with his rosary. I understood him. It was an Aeronaves flight to TJ.
No idea how their flights work now, that was some time ago. Don't even know the airlines names that are flying now.
