How did TSA backpay affect security wait times in South Florida?

Why are airports advising passengers to arrive less early now?

Security wait times are down at South Florida airports after weeks of congestion caused by a partial government shutdown that left TSA workers without pay for weeks.

Employees began to receive backpay last week, after President Donald Trump signed an order to direct federal funding intended for the Department of Homeland Security to paying TSA workers.

Since, lines at security checkpoints have eased, cutting wait times down from hours to minutes in some cases. Staff at various airports are now advising passengers that they should no longer plan to arrive extra early to account for extreme delays.

Here’s what to know before you arrive for your flight at Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport or Palm Beach International Airport today.
