Thank you for your kind offer, but we were going to stay an extra night in Alabama with the MIL, not spending any time in Nashville. This actually gets me out of spending the extra night. 
Love my MIL, but too many nights in small town Alabama, and I’m done.

Just walked straight through security in Seattle, not a seconds wait in Checkpoint One. The TSA mess obviously isn’t affecting everyone.

Wrong airline thread. Reposted it in the other one.
My last was hidden - so let me make it brief - Tom Homan says TSA will be paid by Tuesday.
Hopefully that helps with lines.

@busdriver11 you are very fortunate. The lines here are still crazy and on one of the Sunday morning talk shows, one of the guests commented that it took them 3 1/2 hours to get through security in Newark to get to the show.

My kids flew out of JFK last Wed and returned from Orlando toda. No lines. They were upset for showing up so early at the Orlando airport. My son in law flew out of EWR last Monday, also no wait.
My D flew home today from Cleveland. TSA wait was under 2 minutes.

We fly out of Phoenix tomorrow mid day. Hoping for no lines at TSA Pre. But we will get there early enough anyway.
I’ve flown out of Newark twice over the last three weeks, and I’m surprised by how fast it was compared to the airports I flew back from (ATL and ORD). Way to go, New Jersey! 
I fly again in two days, so I’m hoping it’s just as smooth.
We are sitting at the gate in Phoenix. We breezed through checking our bags,and through TSA Precheck. Honestly…very quick, no line. So we arrived at our gate almost two hours before our flight…
But we did score very comfy seats in the waiting area.

In Denver the only thing I notice as ‘different’ was coming back thru customs the Global entry was closed and we had to go through the ‘regular’ line. Global Entry usually takes about 30 seconds (I’m not kidding) and the regular line took about 10 minutes.
My daughter flew out on Sunday the 22nd, which was supposed to be the most crowded day, but I think it took her about 30 min, and I’ve been in 30 minute lines a lot, especially at 6 am.
I think the airports with the biggest problems are Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans (but that may have cleared up in recent weeks) and Miami. The last time I went through Houston it was a nightmare and TSA was working full staff. It took 2+ hours to get through customs, pick up baggage, recheck it and go through security again. And walk 100 miles to our new gate. Only made the plane because it was delayed about 15 minutes.
I had a flight cancelled recently and I had used my Chase Sapphire card to book the ticket. I filed a claim and just got notified that I’m going to be reimbursed for my hotel and meals. I think it was @busdriver11 who mentioned on one of the threads filing a claim.

I’m glad you’re getting some money back. It’s bad enough having to endure delays, much less pay for it! I’ve never had to file for reimbursement yet, but it’s good to know the credit card coverage works.

My S files claims for delayed flights and has had enjoyable meals and nice unplanned stays at nice hotels paid by Chase Sapphire.

Just read an article online about a requirement by TSA starting this summer, this summer, that carry on bags are required to be clear, like the clear bags you take into stadiums? Are you kidding? So now everyone has to buy new luggage? How does this help when you use packing cubes? My packing cubes aren’t clear, now I need to buy those. This just seems ludicrous to all of a sudden implement such a drastic and expensive change.

It’s an April Fools Joke. I saw it in a collection of April Fools jokes.

Read the last sentence of that article…April Fools.

The worst part is we live in a day and age that though ludicrous to think this could be true about the luggage, similar ludicrous things are happening left and right - so we almost accept without questioning!
