Are TSA lines still long? Wait times at PHL today
Though TSA struggles across the country could soon ease up following an order from U.S. President Donald Trump to pay workers, the Department of Homeland Security shutdown looks like it will continue despite recent optimism.
At Philadelphia International Airport, three security checkpoints remain closed to travelers, a measure from the airport that began on March 18 in an effort to streamline security at other terminals.
Here's what you about checking wait times, security closures and TSA hours if you're flying out of PHL this week.
