    title: Official clock is 2 hours — TSA is 24 hours
    detail: >-
      Peak banks are 04:00–06:00, 11:00–14:00, and 21:00–00:00. There is no
      official live wait tile. REAL ID is required; ConfirmID is the $45
      fallback since 1 Feb 2026. Third-party 90-minute copy is not the airport
      number.
    summary: >-
      Travel tips say arrive 2 hours before a domestic departure and 3 hours
      before an international one. The checkpoint is printed as open 24 hours.

    summary: >-
      After screening you stay sterile. Concourse B opened mid-December 2025.
      Wrong concourse is a walk, not a reclear.
