TSA wait times soared to 3½ hours at Hobby Airport on Sunday morning as the partial government shutdown and an influx of passengers combined to create massive lines and halt flights.
Lines were seen twisting through the airport as travelers waited to reach TSA checkpoints, which have been under pressure during the Department of Homeland Security’s ongoing shutdown. Houston airport officials said they expected more than 2 million passengers over 11 days starting Friday and stretching through March 16 during a spring break travel rush. Houston also has been host to the World Baseball Classic, attracting fans to the city.
