Spring break travelers are facing an extra dose of frustration as airport security lines snake on for hours.

The line at Atlanta's airport was 153 minutes long as early as 6 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday, according to reports on social media, with travelers forced to navigate a wait for security screening that stretched through the baggage claim area.

Another social media post reported "massive" TSA chaos at New York's LaGuardia airport, where the line was two hours long. A video posted on X showed the line stretching the length of the terminal building.

LaGuardia's own social media account said longer than typical lines might happen at security checkpoints "due to staffing impacts from the federal funding lapse." It urged travelers to plan ahead and arrive early.

Newark International Airport security lines were 116 minutes long as of Sunday morning, according to Qsensor, a real-time airport tracking platform.

New Orleans Airport put a statement on social media urging passengers to arrive three hours ahead of their scheduled departures because security wait times could be up to two hours. It also said as of this morning, TSA PreCheck and Priority Screening aren't available, though Clear is available to those who are currently enrolled.
