Travelers Battle Security Lines at Houston, Atlanta Airports

Travelers getting an early start to the weekend faced a rude awakening Friday when they ran into long, snaking security lines at select airports, including those in Houston and Atlanta.

Social media was abuzz with posts about queues that at times backed up to baggage claim. George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were among the worst, with morning wait times as long as three hours and more than an hour, respectively.
