TSA Transportation Security Authority

One large female TSA employee screamed at me demanding private medical information in order to use the nude scanners. 10^th flight out of her in 2 months and the pre-​check lane is never in operation. Poor attention to customer service. Just about every other TSA checkpoint is better. I recommend using Phoenix if you can.

Personable, yet thorough. These folks don’t make you feel like you’re being interrogated by the FBI when you’re trying to get through security in a timely manner.

I have GE so almost always get precheck. Lots of people in the regular line and now shunted into the precheck line that are clueless and that slows things down. Also precheck is only open for a few hours in morning. The rest of the time you get regular check with shoes. Good news is that is never takes more than 10 minutes to get through and usually less. I fly out of TUS about 20 times a year.

As far is the TSA goes the Tucson TSA is by far the best at most airports I’ve been to. they are pleasant which is very welcome because I am used to traveling out of LAX where that is certainly not the case.
The lines are never long here due to the fact that this is a small airport however they now offer TSA pre-​check if you are lucky enough to draw that golden ticket.
The one thing that I have noticed here and not at other airports is that if you wear a skirt they will always make you wait to the side until they find an agent to feel you up. I am used to it now but if you prefer not to have this experience it’s better to wear pants when you’re traveling out of Tucson. That is the only reason they do not receive a five star rating.

I have never had a problem with the TSA at Tucson. Generally friendly, not very busy, and overall, just fine.
