New York, United States – A very long security line filled with hundreds of travelers formed early in the morning at Terminal B of LaGuardia Airport on March 24, 2026.

Passengers stood tightly packed together with luggage, backpacks, and jackets under bright terminal lighting, as the queue stretched deep through the concourse.

Despite the heavy crowd, the line continued to move steadily. One traveler reported entering the line at 6:37 a.m. and clearing security by 8:14 a.m., for a total wait time of 1 hour and 37 minutes, matching estimates given by airport staff.

The same traveler praised the TSA workers, describing them as “10/10 patient, kind & professional” and saying they deserved a bonus for maintaining a positive attitude throughout the situation.
