Yes TSA was a problem...
Lihue is a small airport. 3 flights leaving at same time. One of three TSA lanes inoperational. TSA sent everybody through body scanner and even told me to take my overhead shirt off (this is wrong, I am a woman, it was not a jacket, had no zipper or pockets). Point is Delta knew this was an extraordinary delay and could have helped us but didn't. Other airlines came to move their people through the line. Delta refused. Even if they had waited an extra 5 minutes we could have boarded...unless they had already given our seats away. 10 pm flight. Airport shutting down. We are all told too bad and we won't even pay for your hotel. People were crying. I've never missed a flight in my life and we booked and paid for these tickets almost a year in advance. Nice way to treat your customers Delta.
