TSA Checkpoint East - Will Rogers World Airport

A mostly pleasant experience with security at OKC today with a relatively short queue with no waiting for PreCheck (though no CLEAR here) and an ID check. My backpack had no problem with the xray belt and I had no problem with the magnetometer. An overall unremarkable security screening.[Review 17096 overall - 131 in Oklahoma - 612 of 2022.]

TSA checkpoint could have been much smoother if there was line management. TSA agents let the left side build up while the right side had a fraction of people over there. Not sure what was going on. Took about 30 minutes to get through without TSA precheck Sunday morning around 630.

I'm glad they have opened both sides of the TSA checkpoint now. I mean, going through checkpoints is a pain, but the experience at this airport is usually fine. I've seen both sides be super busy but I think I've only waited a max of 30 minutes. The TSA employees are usually friendly and competent at keeping the line moving. Usually the person checking IDs is funny and personable while still keeping the line going. Sometimes you get hung up with people taking forever getting prepared. I travel a lot: by the time I'm up there I'm just ready to throw my stuff in the bin. Sometimes you get behind someone that take 5 minutes taking shoes off or whatever and that's irritating. Sometimes the TSA employees will motion you to jump ahead, sometimes not. Oh well, I'm always early so it's not too terrible I guess.

Normally I hate TSA, but in this airport it was smooth all the way. No line for TSA PRE-CHECK. No hassles going through, the employees even smiled. It took less than 3 minutes total.

As this is a very small airport, I mean REALLY small! The TSA checkpoint for the most part moves very quickly I must say. One particular day they had problems with one of their scanners and we had to move to the next line. They only had 2 lines this one particular day that I went. Honestly I don't think I've ever seen them with more than 2 checkpoints but I may be wrong. Same thing with every checkpoint. Take off your shoes and yada yada, take out your electronics in your carry on and shish boom bam. The wait time on this day was maybe 13 minutes max due to a scan problem they had. If it wasn't for that I would have made it through within 5-7 minutes. Sorry I didn't take any photos but it wasn't bad at all.

I am not a fan of TSA. Honestly, who is? But I arrived way early and they were Johnny-on-the-spot! It was great. They were nice, polite and didn't act like they hate their job (Miami are you listening.) I know right now it's popular to bash TSA. I've never heard "I love TSA". However, they did a good job and did it nicely.

I see TSA has had some good reviews but unfortunately I can't say the same. The individual that was checking me, talked way too fast and did not listen well. It was like he was in a hurry to go home or sonething. I'm not sure what was up with him and perhaps he is totally different at other times. However the rest of the TSA members were kind. If the TSA manager reads this please no disrespect to your job nor your people but kindness and smiles go a lot further then throwing your badge in someones face and that is how I felt this morming. Merry Christmas!

The TSA agents are always, always, polite and professional. I have never experienced a long line. They will chase you down to give you back Your property. I travel a LOT, which is probably why I know to appreciate them so much. Supervision should be proud. And they thanked me for my service. Which it says Vet on my license.

Really great TSA members! They were quick and efficient, got us through the check in with ease in under five minutes even with a pat down. I arrived shortly after 9:30 AM on a Thursday and the traffic wasn't bad at all! The customer service of these folks were off the hook! They all had smiles and treated me with such kindness and laughs. The girl that patted me down was very professional about it and made sure I was comfortable.

These people are super honest. An envelope with money fell out of my bag as it was going through the conveyor belt. I had already left and because my name was on it they called me. I had no idea it was missing. I'm so grateful to them.
