Back at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport right now, here’s what Transportation Security Administration - TSA looks like:

Checkpoint A: 22 minutes
Checkpoint B: 12 minutes
Checkpoint C: 21 minutes
Checkpoint D: 11 minutes

Lines are moving. No backups from what I’m seeing on the ground.

This continues to match what we’ve been tracking:
Midday is steady. Early mornings are still the pressure point.

If you’re flying today, this is about as normal as it gets right now.

Drop your airport and wait time below, still tracking this across the country.

Started my day in Phoenix… ended it at the birthplace of Walmart.

And this is just day one on the road for America’s Best Restaurants.

Phoenix Sky Harbor airport update this morning.

April 6 at 5:24 AM
Terminal 3 TSA wait: about 8 minutes
Terminal 4 TSA wait: about 5 minutes

Early mornings still seem to be moving pretty fast right now, but airport lines can always change depending on the day and time.

If you’re flying soon, how early do you usually get to the airport?

The conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, and the big question now is not just what’s happening on the ground, but what the strategy is moving forward and how conflicts like this usually end.

Could this turn into a wider regional war? Could the U.S. get pulled in? And how do conflicts like this typically end, diplomacy, ceasefire, or something else?

I spoke with a foreign policy expert about where this could go next and what the world should be watching right now.

Gas prices are back near $4 nationally for the first time since 2022, and analysts say drivers may not be feeling the worst of this yet.

Oil prices have jumped more than 40% since the Iran conflict began, and those costs usually take weeks to show up at the pump.

What are gas prices where you live right now?

I spoke with an oil analyst about what drivers should expect next.
