San Juan, Puerto Rico – Video filmed by X user GoneWithTheTailwind shows a very crowded TSA security checkpoint at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport on the morning of March 25, 2026.

The shaky handheld footage, taken while walking through the area, captures a dense crowd of travelers standing in long, slow-moving lines. Passengers of all ages carry rolling suitcases, backpacks, and personal items under bright fluorescent lights on the glossy white floor.

Airport pillars, blue signage, and stanchions are visible as TSA officers, including one in a blue shirt with a badge, manage the flow of people through the checkpoint.

The queue stretches deep into the terminal with no quick end in sight, highlighting the delays despite the partial government shutdown affecting staffing.

The poster shared it in response to someone claiming TSA lines were unusually fast, noting, “Depends on the airport I think. This morning in San Juan.”
