"Designated as one of the limited airports authorized for the visa bond pilot program, this New York hub is a mandatory arrival point for travelers from the listed visa bond countries who enter the U.S. on B1 or B2 visas. It is specifically named as one of only three airports through which these travelers must enter to adhere to the program’s rules." - Jessica Puckett
"Sheer scale defines the experience at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where multiple separately operated terminals, heavy international traffic, and frequent delays place ongoing strain on infrastructure, even as redevelopment projects continue around the airport." - Hana Al-Khodairi

"At major hubs like New York JFK, I noted checkpoint wait times reported at about 15–30 minutes for regular lanes according to the MyTSA app; while airport security operations were still running smoothly at the time of reporting, the article warns that ongoing furloughs and increasing sick calls among essential air travel staff could lengthen lines and cause more flight delays if the shutdown continues." - Jessica Puckett
