Answer 1

Security is airport-specific, not airline-specific.

1.  Get in line.  Show your boarding pass and ID.  Take off your shoes.  Put them in the plastic bins, along with coat, purse, carry on luggage, and the separate one-quart bag that holds your liquids and gels.  Walk through the arch, pick up your stuff.

2.  You can get your boarding pass online by going to the airline's website, look for online checkin, use your confirmation number.  You can print it out at home.  Or, if you wish, you get it at the ticket desk when you check your baggage.  

3.  Two hours should be enough for a domestic flight.  However, if you're like me, you get places really early, avoiding the stress of possibly being late.

I went to New York last year. I called my airlines to see what procedure they had.  Maybe this would be best to do.  I feel it also would depend what the security alert is at the time you will be flying.  Have a nice trip.  Take care & God Bless.
