The FAA begs to differ.

Via The Hill:

Wait times at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints at major U.S. airports have already increased by “150 to 200 percent” since sequestration was implemented, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Monday.

Napolitano said Monday that the $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that were officially enacted last Friday have already resulted in longer airport security lines.

“Now that we are having to reduce or eliminate basically overtime both for TSA and for customs, now that we have instituted a hiring freeze … we will begin today sending out furlough notices,” Napolitano said at an event that was sponsored by Politico.

“We are already seeing the effects,” Napolitano continued, citing TSA lines that are “150 to 200 percent as long as we would normally expect.”
