Live Airport Security Wait Time Predictor

C6/10March 25, 2026
WhatA mobile app that uses crowdsourced data, TSA feeds, and ML to predict real-time and near-future security checkpoint wait times at every major airport.
SignalMultiple users expressed that estimating time through airport security is the information they actually need most, and existing solutions like MyTSA are unreliable or frequently offline.
Why NowTSA systems have been disrupted and are being rebuilt, airport passenger volumes are at all-time highs, and computer vision and crowdsourcing infrastructure are mature enough to power accurate predictions.
MarketFrequent travelers (600M+ annual US passengers) pay directly or via premium travel apps; airports and airlines would license data. MyTSA is the incumbent but notoriously unreliable, leaving a wide gap.
MoatNetwork effects — accuracy improves with more users reporting, creating a flywheel that late entrants cannot match without critical mass.
