Massive Security Delays at Houston Intercontinental
Sep 23rd, 2005 | By Jared BlankYou know how when you arrive at the security gate at the airport and there are a few people ahead of you and you start whining to yourself how much it sucks to travel since 9/11? (OK, maybe that’s just me). Well, we’ve got nothing on the poor schmucks who were waiting, get this, 4-5 hours (yes, hours) to get through the security lines at Houston Intercontinental yesterday. A combination of 110 TSA workers not showing up and the mobs of people trying to escape the hurricane caused a miserable scene Thursday morning. On the positive side, the wait was down to less than an hour by the end of the day.
