"TSA Boosts Staffing to Ease Travel Delays at JFK Airport and Nationwide"
The TSA has deployed additional security workers to JFK Airport in response to the long lines experienced during the summer. Senator Chuck Schumer had demanded more staffing, citing the unacceptable wait times that caused many travelers to miss their flights. The TSA has reassigned 200 workers, approved overtime, and increased the number of canine dog units to help screen passengers. Wait times at the airport this week have been under 30 minutes.
