    Why don’t they just let people take their assault rifles onto the plane such that they can defend themselves? Are they stupid?

      You dont give up your right to free speech when you get on a plane, why around you give up the right to bear arms?

        Thank you. To give another example, in Italy it is necessary to approve the budget by 31st of December. If this doesn’t happen the budget is controlled by the government but with limitations and only one month at a time. I think it’s a good compromise not to let the country collapse.

          I agree for most countries.

    I’d honestly just cancel my holiday instead going through that trauma.

    I’ve only been to JFK once, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to. Avoid at all cost.

        I mostly fly out of Newark. I’m not saying Newark is good, but nothing like what I saw at JFK. JFK was so bad, they had a staff member split the security line in half and escort us to another level of the airport. And the entire time at JFK people were trying to upsell us on CLEAR to skip the line.

        I have never seen Newark move a security line, and I’ve never had someone try to sell me CLEAR WHILE IM ALREADY IN YHE SECURITY LINE. Never again JFK.

        I flew put of newark yesterday and we waited longer to check our bag than to get through security. Maybe 10 minutes at the most

      All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.

      I flew out of JFK terminal 1 recently (not sure how much the terminals matter/differ as it was my first time flying from JFK) about 2 weeks ago and didn’t spend more than maybe 20-30 minutes in the TSA line? It really wasn’t long at all so hearing wait times of hours and such seems crazy to me.

    My coworker noped out of a trip across country because they’d have a grandchild with them, and didn’t want any issues with missing flights, long waits, or ICE shenanigans. If they didn’t have their grandchild, they probably would have taken the train instead.

    Edit: more info

    There are several terminals with security checkpoints, this does not represent “JFK Airport” as a whole. This shown terminal is T5, JetBlue’s terminal.

    Edit: who downvoted, lol. I’ve been to JFK 4 times this week. Nothing I said is untrue. It literally says Jetblue check in on the sign. Go pound sand.

      Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?

        Yes. Though I obviously didn’t tour the airport looking for problems. Delta’s was long but not awful. AA’s was relatively short. Didn’t see the international terminal. No idea what constitutes “peak”, but NY is heading into NY school’s spring break season, so things will get busy for the airports.

      The racist, hillbilly morons who voted for this are not “jet-setters.” They’ve probably never even been on a jet.

        You underestimate the number of half-wit yuppies who are MAGA. The number of them in my home city is absurd and theyre the exact fucking reason the area is even urbanizing while they bitch about urbanizing factors is absurd, sorry Janice but the light industry is an expected economic factor for a city population.

    I had to sleep in JFK Airport once. I don’t recommend it. The rats that come out at night are the size of a ~25 pound dog.
