One man in Houston turned a miserable four-hour TSA wait recently into an impromptu party by handing out free vodka shots to adults in line. The video shows the traveler walking through the massive crowd at George Bush Intercontinental Airport with a large frosted bottle and a stack of plastic cups.

He began pouring shots for frustrated travelers who were stuck in a line that stretched far outside the terminal doors.

Instead of tossing the expensive liquor, the man decided to share it with his fellow passengers. Social media users were quick to hail the traveler as a 'true patriot' for helping strangers bond during the travel chaos. 'I bartend at an airport and I fully support this,' one user wrote.

Those issues are said to be easing now at many airports as TSA employees begin to receive paychecks again.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has still been telling passengers to show up at least four hours early.

It argued that arriving too early has caused more congestion for those with closer departure times. In Ohio, John Glenn Columbus International Airport suggested that 90 minutes before a flight is the 'sweet spot' to avoid crowds.
