Where can I find videos of old SNL episodes? I'm looking for a skit from this one.
SNL (and/or NBC and/or Broadway Video) is very proactive about removing unauthorized online posting of SNL video. To find this you are going to have to look into people sharing old torrents or people who are into trading old VHS copies of the show. The other hope that you might have is if one of the compilation videos contains the sketch that you want.

Are you sure that no skits from that episode have been compiled on any DVDs? Netflix has a lot of them. But it'd be more useful to know what skit the OP is looking for.

There are DVDs for sale of old SNL episodes which may include the one you want. If I remember where my copies are, I'll look through them . . .

NBC signed a deal with Netflix on Sept. 24th of this year to stream "Episodes from every season of NBC's signature comedy franchise Saturday Night Live, including day-after broadcast of the upcoming 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons plus hundreds of episodes from the first 35 years of SNL." Not sure when this will go live.

Currently seasons 1-12 and 31 - 36 (the current season) are available on Netflix instant viewing. Presumably, the missing seasons will be added eventually.

Response by poster: Looking for "Airport Security Check" - from what I remember, this was prescient of the TSA's recent change in approach.

NBC's website is actually a decent source for old SNL clips. Unfortunately, it is not exhaustive, and they do not have the skit you speak of. But for future reference: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/categories/a-z/

Netflix just added a few more SNL seasons, literally yesterday. the only season currently missing are 21-30, which I image would be added in a few more weeks.

Best answer: Netflix --> season 17 --> episode 17 (Sharon Stone) --> 18:10
