airport简单

First two hours, now three hours — this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.

先是两小时，现在是三小时——这是当局建议人们为赶国内航班提前到达机场的时间，至少在一些安检队伍越来越长的美国大型机场是这样。

Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried.

去年，美国运输安全管理局（TSA）在一次秘密检查中发现，卧底调查人员几乎每次尝试都能把武器——无论是假的还是真的——偷偷带过机场安检。

Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago’s O’Hare International.

此后加强的安保措施，加上经济好转和低油价带来的航空出行增加，导致芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场等大型机场出现了漫长的等待。

Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes.

问题的部分原因在于机场能用于安检通道的空间有限。

There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program.

运输安全管理局可以采取一项既不需要改建机场、也不需要仓促招人的措施：让更多的人加入“预检”项目。
