TSA Checkpoint – Hobby Airport

I agree with the other reviewers that TSA is a sham, but unfortunately it’s a reality for anybody choosing to/​needing to travel via commercial airlines, so I’ll refrain from using Unilocal as a forum for my political rants…
In comparison to other security checkpoints, the one here at Hobby is much easier to get through than most. I attribute it to Southwest Airlines’ large presence here, along with the relatively small size of the airport. The TSA officers here are typically pretty friendly, even if inefficient at times, but it is what it is. I’ve never had to wait a crazy amount of time in the line and they do a decent job dispersing the main line between the scanning/​detector stations. If the scanner gets backed up, they’ll call people through the metal detectors to speed things up. I always allow plenty of time before my departure and my work travel is usually on early Wednesday mornings, so I’m sure it can get pretty busy on peak business travel days and at the holidays, but so far, I’ve not experienced that. Good luck and happy travels!

The TSA people at Hobby are super morons. I purchased a belt from the Southwest magazine that is leather and plastic to go through security without taking it off. However, the TSA bozos insist I take it off because the metal detector will pick it up! The TSA is just another welfare program, they add no safety or security to the airport, just jobs for idiots.

These unconstitutional mouth breathers extort funds from tax payers to violate our right to be secure in our person without unwarranted search and seizure. What crime have we committed? When did traveling mean giving up your rights? I want to spit in all their face when they ask me where I’m going, none of your effing business storm trooper. No you can’t search me. Get your hands off my wife. Nothing but a bunch of unconstitutional, welfare whores. Thanks for being so polite as you violate the rights of innocent Americans you shameful Gestapo cunts.
