Airports also have an incentive to keep the TSA lines as variable as possible.

If the line can sometimes take 5 minutes and sometimes take 2 hours, you need to arrive 2 hours early. And then if it actually takes just 5 minutes - that’s 1:55 left for buying food and shopping.

It's not TSA, but I was particularly dumbfounded at Heathrow Airport when security exited straight into an extended shopping corridor of champagne, jewelry, and caviar.

It's not quite the same situation as it used to be, but this stuff used to be ideally suited to the dual purpose of buying gifts to take home and burning all your remaining foreign currency.
