Miss your flight after abnormally long TSA line? Don't expect a refund

Nearly a month into a partial government shutdown that leaves Transportation Security Administration agents unpaid, the lines at airport security are getting longer and longer.

At major airports across the country, from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta to Houston's Hobby, lines to go through TSA grew to over an hour long, and topped three hours over the weekend.

Airport officials have encouraged travelers to arrive three or even four hours before your flight, as well as checking your airport's TSA wait time trackers before heading to the airport.

But what happens if you miss your flight while standing in a TSA line?

If you end up stuck in a TSA line and miss your flight, don't expect a refund from your airline.
