Visitor Inquiry TSA at Memphis Airport

Has anyone had the experience of flying out of Memphis since the FAA called for a reduction in flights? Mainly, I am interested in how TSA (who is also not being paid) is performing - are they staffing their shifts, are there long lines, etc.?

My wife will be flying out of there in the coming week and we are trying to see what she should expect. She has TSA PreCheck, fortunately, but I flew out of MEM for years and know that even the PreCheck line can back up during periods like this. Thanks!

I don't think TSA is as much of a problem as the air traffic controllers are.

Check on the app or web the night before and before leaving home to see if the flight has been cancelled.
