ORLANDO, Fla. -- A new way of dividing the lines could have travelers moving faster through airport security.
Orlando International Airport began a testing phase Tuesday using new procedures that could make getting through the security screening phase a little more convenient.
Passengers are divided into three lines. One line is for families and inexperienced travelers, a second for the casual traveler, and a third line is dedicated to the expert who wants to quickly get through the line.
"The family line is slightly slower, but it gives people who need the extra time to fold up a stroller or a wheelchair," said Transportation Security Administration spokesman Lee Kair. "It gives them a little extra time to get through the process without being rushed."
The security separation is only in the test phase. If it's well-received, six more airports will adopt the new lines.
The new procedure was first introduced in Salt Lake City; OIA is the third Airport to test it.
It seems to me the only people to benefit from this are business travelers who get fed up with waiting in line with tourists. As most travelers are families that visit Orlando, I would imagine those lines will be huge!
