NICK EICHER, HOST: At Philadelphia International Airport, just like everywhere else, travelers are expecting very long lines.

But on National Cheesesteak Day in Philly, the longest line was not security, it was lunch.

Organizers set out to break a Guinness World Record—lining up more than 1,200 cheesesteaks end to delicious end inside the terminal.

LEJEUNE: So today we accomplished that goal here in Philadelphia.

Once the record was certified, the sandwiches went to hungry travelers, airport staff, and a group that could not be more deserving.

EMPRIC: They're going to TSA agents, who definitely could use some lunch. 

Finally, a long line you don’t mind getting into.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
