How to read the board

01 / SOURCE

Start with status

Airport-controlled feeds are normalized into checkpoint, lane, wait, and capture time. The row tells you whether the reading is live or estimated.

02 / DIRECTION

Check the trend

A low wait that is rising deserves more caution than the same number during a steady period. The arrow compares recent conditions.

03 / CHECKPOINT

Open the airport

Use checkpoint detail whenever it is available. Terminal and lane differences are more useful than an airport-wide average for a specific trip.

Quick answers

Before you rely on a number

How often do wait times update?

Live airport feeds are checked about every 2 minutes. Source labels make it clear whether a row is backed by a recent live reading or fallback context.

Why is my airport missing?

Some airports do not publish a public source that can be verified consistently. TSA Tracker only marks an airport live when its official source is usable and monitored.

Should I use the airport average or checkpoint detail?

Use checkpoint detail when it is available. At airports with separate terminals or lane types, the checkpoint tied to your trip is more useful than an airport-wide average.

Does a low TSA wait mean I can arrive late?

No. Security is only one part of the trip. Allow time for parking, bag drop, terminal walks, boarding cutoffs, and any additional screening.
