For those in need of some reassurance in these dark times of two-hour airport security checkpoint waits, these visual aids will help you remain cool as a cucumber.

So when the line ahead gets you down, look down at your phone, and take comfort knowing you'll soon be past security and on your way to vacation. (Maybe.)
