Midway Airport Security Line Reportedly Over 1 Mile Long, If you’re reading this while you wait in line at Chicago’s Midway Airport, we wish you the best of luck. Lines at security have reportedly reached more than a mile long today, Gawker reports.
Photos posted on social media show the line snaking close to the entrance of the Midway Orange Line stop.
One traveler, Denise Whitaker, said she mapped the distance of the line, which came to 1.2 miles.

Aviation Department officials told the Sun-Times such backups occur from time to time, and the mess was clear by 9:15 a.m.
Good for those catching later flights, but not for Whitaker, who said she missed hers.
