How much time to allow for air travel on 11/27?

We'll be flying out of BWI on Saturday. How much time should we arrive prior to our flight? In the past we've always arrived about 90 mins. before but with this being a holiday weekend and all the new security measures in place I didn't know if 90 mins. would be enough time. Any advice from those that have flown on a holiday weekend or are flying this weekend?

TIA

What time of day? Mornings usually have longer lines. I would allow at least 2 hours.

DebbieB ~ Thanks for your response. Currently we are scheduled on a 4:30 (pm) flight, but am considering changing our flight to the 2:15 one since it is the same price. I don't know if that would make much of a difference. We are flying SW.

Southwest's website recommends 1.5 hours. I would make it 2 just to be sure.
