After the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks, airport lines have become longer and more unpredictable.
Recently, pressure has been placed on airport screeners to speed up the process when lines get too long.
But TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger said it should not be the job of screeners to speed up the pace. They’re focus, he said, should be on security, the Associated Press reports.
TSA officials, not screeners, should worry about the length of the lines, he said.
“I want front-line screeners doing what they’re supposed to do, which is screening and making sure that things that shouldn’t get past the checkpoint don’t get past,” he said. “I let leaders and managers worry about things like queuing and line speed.”
