About TSA Now

Our Mission

TSA Now is an independent crisis response tool built to help travelers navigate the TSA security crisis during the government shutdown. We aggregate real-time wait time data from official sources, public APIs, social media, and news reports to give you accurate, actionable information.

Why This Matters

With the TSA operating at reduced capacity, wait times have surged unpredictably. Airlines are overselling flights, and travelers are missing connections. Having access to current, reliable wait time data is critical for making smart decisions about when to arrive at the airport.

How We Work

  • Real-time monitoring: We constantly track official airport websites, TSA social media accounts, and news sources.
  • Community feedback: We monitor Reddit, Twitter, and traveler reports to capture ground truth.
  • Pattern analysis: We identify trends (time of day, day of week) to help you plan better.
  • Personalization: Our free flight briefing tool tailors recommendations to your specific flight based on the latest data.

Data Freshness

Our data is updated continuously throughout the day. The "Last Updated" timestamp on each airport page shows when we last refreshed that airport's data. For the most critical decisions, we recommend checking the official airport wait time pages directly (linked on each airport detail page).

Not Official TSA Data

TSA Now is not affiliated with the TSA or any government agency. We're an independent service created to fill a gap during this crisis. Always cross-reference critical decisions with official sources.

Support TSA Now

TSA Now is completely free to use. We built it because we needed it ourselves and figured everyone else could use it too. If this tool helped you catch your flight, consider making a small donation to keep it running.
