security costed me a new ticket, i lost nearly 4 hours arriving at jfk, and when passed the security i could see security people drinking coffee and discussing while only a few places were actually working, they may need time for coffee but when there are so many people in line waiting well i would do some effort and work on all stations.
When possible i will avoid jfk and fly directly to another destination where i did not have this before.
Homeland security costed me a new ticket and above all i had to pay for my luggage even i was an european travellar
