Wow, live training. Doesn't that sound fun.

MSP is the first airport to use the McDonald Humphrey Automated Screening Lane along with the Smith's X-Ray Machine. Most other airports use RapidScan X-Ray with the ASL lanes. So the three week window is longer than normal because we're the first to use this system combination. In addition, they can't send the TSOs to any other airports to train on it, so it's going to be training day when it opens.
Thanks for the heads up on the "training" period. This could be a mess for a much longer period than the media are suggesting.

To be clear, it's not like the TSOs won't be trained on it ahead of time. But the first time anyone gets experience operating it under heavy load with real passengers will be the day they reopen the checkpoint.

Precheck (two lanes) and Clear are in full effect at South FYI.....regular line at North did not look fun today (~30 mins or so quoted on the board).

I went through the South lane which was pretty empty. Using Clear I was through the line in 2 minutes or less yesterday.

If need be I can get you a free trial code for CLEAR so you won't have to worry about the lines.

Enrollment literally takes less than five minutes (fill out a form online and then have your finger prints and iris scans taken at the airport) and you're all set.

My daughter read about the lane closures and that pushed her over the line to sign up for precheck. She is at her appointment right now (lots of time slots available at Bloomington.)

She flies a fair amount to and from college and internships. We just returned from vacation- had precheck courtesy of my GE trusted traveler status. She had forgotten what normal security used to be.

I didn't get such an email and I not only live here but I'm also flying out of MSP in a few days on DL.

Delta seems to be very diligent with this message. I received it yesterday in regard to my flight with arrival, not departure, at MSP!

Edit: Just read MSPeconomist's post. Guess the diligence is kind of scattered.

That's real useful---unless TSA plans to subject us to "security" checks upon arrival.

I've gotten the JFK T4 message on flights to or D-D connecting there, but not with regularity. Perhaps these emails are processed via a manual batch and sometimes a fat finger forgets to specify O/D airport?
