I took a long trip from Colorado to TN to GA, Kitty Hawk, NC, MO and
back home and used FSS multiple times. Wait time was essentially ZERO
and the briefings were complete, useful and professional. I have
heard of horror stories but I did not encounter any.

I'm guessing that so many people have given up on them, that there are now
enough people manning the lines to make wait times reasonable, and the
briefers have now learned enough that at least some of them are not useless.
