Busy Day at Austin's Airport
Today's expected to be one of the busiest days of the month at Austin's airport. Airport officials say people flying before 8 a.m. should arrive two hours early. After that, people should arrive an hour and a half early since security lines are expected to be longer than normal. TSA says don't wrap gifts because they may have to be opened for inspection. And another little tip: If you are wearing loose or baggy clothing you have a better chance of undergoing more screening or an "enhanced pat down".
