United Airlines has launched a mobile app that tracks TSA wait times for both security and PreCheck lanes for the first time in its history. The app will provide updates throughout the day, helping passengers plan their travel accordingly. The move comes as airline passengers experienced some of the highest security wait times in TSA's 25-year history, with some taking over four-and-a-half hours to clear checkpoints.
