TSA IMPLEMENTS NEW SCREENING PROCEDURE AT SUN  
GET TO THE AIRPORT EARLY - DON'T MISS YOUR FLIGHT! 
 
It's easy to think you have plenty of time to check-in at the airport during this slower fall season, but if you don't arrive at the airport AT LEAST 90 MINUTES (2 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED) before your scheduled flight departure, you may be one of those passengers who misses their flight - and this has happened recently.    
Be prepared, be on time.
