I asked a grumpy-looking lady TSO what was up, and she just scowled and said "the checkpoint's closed, can't you see the sign?" so two undercover cops (in civilian clothes, but with badges on chains) told me where to go.

Reminds me why I hate that airport. Ugh.
Not that many flights go out of T2 (UX withstanding) so once they're all gone they close up shop. UX's designated check-in is at T1 so they don't staff T2 for them. T2 security has been (IME) either very fast or very slow. I think CO sponsored the elite lane there so I'd expect that it's going to lean towards very slow most of the time.
