Travelers at New York’s LaGuardia Airport were facing relatively short security wait times Sunday afternoon – though many of them prepared for the worst.
Marquilla Brooks, who was traveling to Birmingham, Alabama, told CNN she planned to arrive at the airports earlier while on her trip and was “shocked” to see how short the security line at LaGuardia was.
As for the TSA workers who have had to work without pay, Brooks said, “We should take care of our people.”
“They are service people, so they provide a great service. We should compensate them,” she said.
Another traveler, Sean Hubbard, told CNN he arrived at the airport about five hours before his flight to Denver and found his flight was about an hour delayed.
Kayden Dominguez, who was passing through LaGuardia with a friend, said this is the first time she’s actually decided to check the TSA wait times and was relieved to find a short line to get through security.
“The less time I have to be here, the better,” she told CNN.
As for President Donald Trump’s executive order to pay TSA workers, Dominguez said, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
