Airline Three Lane System Reduces Security Wait Times

The Transportation Security Administration has introduced a new three lane system designed to shorten wait lines at security checkpoints. Called "Diamond Lanes," the three lines are:

Families and Special Assistance
Casual Traveler
Expert Traveler

You're an expert traveler if you fly more than twice a month and are accustomed to security procedures. If you stand in this line, it's expected that you will have all items, including shoes, jewelry, jackets, etc. removed before entry, and all documentation in hand.

If you don't meet the qualifications for the Expert "Black Diamond" line, use the Casual Traveler line, where people who are familiar with traveling, but don't fly as frequently as expert travelers, are welcome.

Those people who are traveling with children or have special needs, should use the slower lane, where they can take the time they need to get through security comfortably.
