A new plan is being unveiled Monday in an effort to reduce long lines and missed flights ahead of the summer travel season.

Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey, along with officials from the TSA, will present their proposals to ease the security line delays at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The lines at security checkpoints have been growing at Newark, JFK and LaGuardia Airports.

The problem has grown to such an extent that the Port Authority has threatened to hire private security screeners to replace TSA workers.

The TSA has committed to hiring 700 new screeners, but travelers say it is not soon enough to ease the frustration of standing in long lines and waiting up to an hour to pass through the checkpoints.

JFK Airport has hired temporary staff that will start this week at Terminal 4 to help improve the delays.

Budget cuts have caused logjams at many airports across the country, with many flyers airing their frustrations out on social media.

Newark is no exception with 70 TSA jobs cut since 2014, while traffic has risen by 7.3% over this same period.
