Flyers face hourslong lines as TSA agents quit amid first weekend without full pay

A number of travelers are facing long airport security lines, including at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, where wait times on Monday occasionally stretched up to nearly two hours long.
