Guests shouldn't have to wait too long in line for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checks. TSA said security will be quicker, with up to six people that will be able to use the automated belts to send their bags through security, and can serve up to 250 people an hour (TSA said Terminals A & B can process 150 an hour).
