The sensible fix for long TSA lines is to eliminate the TSA and stop engaging in this silly security theater. It is demonstrably the case that the TSA security procedures are so porous that they can't stop regular people from accidentally bringing weapons on board that they forgot about. The idea that they have prevented any terrorist attacks is ludicrous, yet they have imposed an enormous cost on air travel.

Eliminate the TSA and replace them with nothing. Cockpit doors are now reinforced, so the worst thing someone could do is blow up a plane, and if all you want to do is blow up a hundred people or so, you don't need to be on a plane to do it.
