"United Airlines is adding security wait times to its app, which will be available at major hub airports like Chicago O'Hare and LAX. The feature will show separate wait times for standard security and TSA PreCheck lines."
"The introduction of this feature comes just as airport security lines have returned to normal, following the resumption of pay for TSA employees who had been working without compensation during the government shutdown."
"Over 60,000 TSA employees had been working without pay since the partial government shutdown began in February, leading to significant delays and long lines at airports."
United Airlines has introduced a feature in its app that displays security wait times at select hub airports. This feature is available for standard security and TSA PreCheck lines. However, it launched just as airport security lines returned to normal due to TSA employees receiving back pay after a government shutdown. The timing of the feature's release has been criticized, as it would have been more beneficial during the recent long wait times caused by the shutdown.
