The security changes imposed by Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport started on Monday, and proved a nightmare for early morning travelers.

With floor remodeling at Terminal 1 starting today, MSP has imposed a change on security access, with TSA and CLEAR PreCheck passengers and airport employees directed to the South security checkpoint, and all other passengers the North.

By 6 a.m. there were already massive lines inside the terminal, with even the PreCheck security gate experiencing absurdly long lines.
