Flight passengers are paying strangers to stand in long TSA lines as chaos drags on

A New York-based line waiting service, Same Ole Line Dudes, has attracted the interest of travelers looking for ways to avoid hour-long lines.

The company says it charges $50 minimum for up to a two-hour wait, with an additional $15 charge for any request from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m., according to its website.

"Since this line is moving, it's very different," Samuel told the publication. "No chair is allowed, and we have to stay on our feet, so the pricing will be $35 per hour."

Fox News Digital reached out to Same Ole Line Dudes for comment.

Steven Dial told FOX 26 he's received a few requests. 

"I will wait in line for you at the airport. I'll wait for TSA," he said.

"It's a one-for-one exchange," Dial said. "I get out of line, and that one person goes in. It doesn't change the number of people in line at all."

When asked for comment, the airport told FOX 26 it does not endorse any "for-hire" line-standing services.

"For [travelers'] security, passengers should not pay individuals offering to hold their place in line, as they are not authorized and have not been vetted," the airport said.

Travelers have faced lines of up to five hours in recent weeks as TSA officers called out of work due to missed paychecks.

A traveler was recorded walking through the massive crowd at George Bush Intercontinental Airport with a large frosted bottle and a stack of plastic cups.
