TSA warned flyers' patience at "breaking point" over long lines

TSA warned flyers' patience at "breaking point" over long lines - CBS News:
"It's the irony of flying.
Planes are the fastest way to travel, but wait times just to get on board keep getting longer, reports CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller.
Now airports in New York and New Jersey are joining a growing chorus of complaints about the long wait times at airport security, saying TSA staffing isn't keeping up with increased passenger traffic.
"The flight only took two hours, but you had to get to the airport two hours early, you know, to get through the security line, which is kind of unfortunate," traveler Heidi Kerns said.
...Even if these airports do follow through with plans to hire outside security screeners, they wouldn't be in place in time for the busy summer travel season.
This problem isn't going away on its own. 
The Port Authority says between mid-March and mid-April, the daily average of maximum wait times at John F. Kennedy International Airport was up 82 percent."
