How to get through faster at MHK

Treat TSA as a 45-minute window
Official Security prints carry-on screening about 45 minutes before departure and checked bags closed 30 minutes prior.
Use the official 45-minute TSA window as a hard constraint, not a suggestion. Works best when you are on the morning DFW or ORD departure and already have a mobile boarding pass (American prints those Available). Avoid if you still need to check a bag inside 30 minutes — official Security will not reopen that lane.
Eat in Manhattan or on the aircraft. Official Food & Beverage prints vending only, both sides of TSA, and leftover-prints that unwrapped food should not hit the checkpoint. Wikipedia leftover-prints space for a future restaurant. That restaurant is not on the live official menu.
Official admin hours leftover-print Monday–Thursday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. with lunch 12:00–1:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m., closed federal holidays. Official For Travelers leftover-prints Airport Administration is not open on weekends. After-hours airline questions wait for the next agent; airport-access leftover-prints Security 785-587-4561.
