I agree with Jetliner. If all passengers were allowed to board just minutes before departure then those flights will take delays. The final processing requires that all passengers be present AT THE GATE or already boarded so that stand bys can be processed. Many things have to be COMPLETED minutes before the departure time. If you are not there then you are entered in the roll call as not on board. Get to the airport earlier and don't blame others for something you could have avoided. If the TSA really did hold you up that long then file a complaint with them and provide proper documentation.
