Much like you think your city has the worst traffic and your bars are full of the worst people, you probably also think your local major airport has the worst security wait times. But as you shuffle behind the guy who forgot to remove his shoes, and curse yourself for not signing up for TSA Precheck, remember one thing: there\u2019s probably an airport that\u2019s worse. Unless you\u2019re flying out of LAX.
\nBut to find out which of America’s airports actually DO maintain the absolute slowest security lines, we teamed up with the folks at MiFlight, an app that tracks wait times at 150 airports worldwide. To the surprise of absolutely nobody (we were only half joking above), Los Angeles International tops the list with an average slog of 40 minutes. Read that again: FORTY MINUTES. Jaw-dropping to most, but probably imperceptible to a group of people use to spending two hours in traffic every day.
\nAnyway, here is the full breakdown by average and longest wait:<\/p>\n
10. Chicago – Midway<\/strong> 9. Philadelphia International<\/strong> 8. Newark Liberty<\/strong> 7. Washington – Dulles<\/strong> 6. Dallas – Ft. Worth<\/strong> 5. John F. Kennedy International<\/strong> 4. Miami International<\/strong> 3. Chicago – O’Hare<\/strong> 2. LaGuardia
