As anyone who has been in an airport in December can attest, there's nothing like traveling during the holidays. Airports that are typically devoid of any traffic suddenly look like Grand Central Station.
Plus, many people are traveling with gifts, which often means additional scanning and manual checks. Shipping your gifts ahead of time or leaving them in your checked baggage are the best ways to breeze past the TSA.
If you must bring them with you, skip the wrapping. A TSA agent will likely have to remove the wrapping anyway, adding time to your wait and wasting your wrapping efforts.
