    I arrived early and had no line. Everyone else showed up at the last possible minute and we all stuck together in line. I had time for a light lunch and a coffee. Very relaxing.

    Just say "Opt Out" and bypass the cancer scanner. The frisking staff at SFO are professions and swift--opting out usually won't add any time to your security screening.

    Arrive late, pass all the idiots who plan ahead and show up on time, hapless staff will escort you to front of the line

    6:25 pm on a Tuesday is a great time to be here. No line at TSA checkpoint!

    Mom always says to wear clean underwear. You never know when you're going to end up in the hospital or at a TSA checkpoint.

    If you are late for a flight, it's not TSA's fault. I just cleared a full screening in less than 3 mins. People are late because they allow themselves to be late.

    Avoid the single line on the right side. It's much slower than the main line.

    This security checkpoint is staffed by Covenant Airport Security working under TSA rules. Private security is way better than TSA.

    Hammers and knifes are not allowed. Stop bringing them in and acting like a complete jackass when your told that you can't take them on board

    Didn't know that taking off your shoes and jacket defined stripping?

    No Pre-Check and plan at least a 2 hour connection as you have to leave/reenter security to get from Terminal 1 to most other gates in Terminal 1. Make sense to you? Nope... me neither.
