Changes in security at BWI?
Since the recent events on the Delta flights, has the time to clear security at BWI for domestic flights changed? I am interested in Monday evening departures. I am usually there about 90 mins before scheduled departure.

I'd say 2-2.5 hours to be safe. The earlier, the better. I haven't been down there since the stuff went down, but the official alert isn't higher, so you're going through normal TSA tomfoolery, I believe. In any case, there are worse places to be stuck than the C terminal (though for my money, it's one of the least fun places to be in BWI).

A/B and D are nice places. A/B has good food options and the power ports at the WN gates. D has a lot of room to walk around. It has a busier feel to it and more food/shopping options than C. Then there's the observation deck before the checkpoint.
I can't imagine much goes on in E, though.
