GS Reception & Security Lanes experiences at EWR
Hi Everyone. Got an email from UA today that included a mention of new GS reception & security lanes at EWR. There is no additional information in the email or at the UA site. Does anyone have any insight into what this involves and when they might open?

Ok. Will be interested to see it. Any idea if it will have dedicated GS security screening as well? The email makes it sound that way ...

I believe it occupies the old connector hallway between the C-3 and C-2 checkpoints. Should drop pax right to the GS security line as in ORD.

New GS Reception & Security Lanes at EWR?
Yes dedicated checkin and dedicated security. Just no Mercedes to the plane yet (as in a couple other airports).

I don't know if it's live yet but I saw it the 
ther day -- complete with a SurrenderBox(TM). It was visible from the airside corridor. It seemed to connect to where the C3/C2 tunnel used to come out at C3.
