While travelers face hours-long lines nationwide, Rochester flyers are moving through security in minutes, according to 13-WHAM. The local airport reports little impact from the TSA funding lapse ahead of spring break.
Airport leaders expect about 50,000 departures over an 11-day stretch but say wait times average just 20 minutes. A private screening partnership helps keep lines short.
Officials still urge travelers to arrive 90 minutes early and prepare for busy terminals as spring break ramps up.
