    So much faster than the "regular" line. Get to keep your shoes and belt on. Very quick outside the prime time rush windows, and still quicker than any alternatives. Great service.

    Avoid the line with the backscatter XRAY machine. Not only do they see your naked body and invade privacy, they also spend about 2-3 times as long per person so that line moves very slow.

    Get here early early. It's 5am and it is still taking me 30 min at least to get through security.

    The priority line at the far right side of the terminal is USUALLY shorter than the one at the far left side.

    Premium security lines shut down officially at 8:00 pm. But they'll actually close them up to 15 minutes earlier.

    Global Entry will greatly increase your chances of getting Pre-Check.

    There is no air conditioning here. Dress lightly or you will sweat like a pig while you wait an hour to get through.

    Back scatter X-ray is bad for your health. Ask for a manual screen instead.

    Worst, slowest checkpoint I've ever been through. And there's a really hardcore bitchy TSA agent.
