PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — We don’t want to jinx it and we’re not going to call out other media for reporting #FakeNews, but the wait time Monday morning at Palm Beach International Airport terminal C is zero. Nothing. And the Delta/JetBlue terminal is always hopping.

In an observation that frequent fliers will appreciate: the Clear line at Terminal C is longer than the normal PreCheck line. And that line is longer than the general (non pre-check) line.

TSA Agents, while maybe not smiling on the inside as they go a week without a paycheck due to the government shutdown, are acting professionally as they keep travelers moving a long. The biggest problems that we observed: the idiot uneducated travelers who still think it’s okay to bring water bottles through security, the idiot uneducated travelers who wait until they’re actually at the conveyor belt to put keys and phones into their bags, and women who don’t seem to comprehend that 9 inch Boca heels — even in a PreCheck line — should be removed.

We stress that your experience may vary as this heavy spring break travel day continues, but PBIA seems to have security lines under control.
