Thanks. That was the reason I posted in the Delta forums - I know that the Midwest gates had a small stand in theirs, but I did not see one coming out of there on Delta. So I assumed the Delta gates might be different.

I agree that the MCI terminal is a bit... challenged. The area for luggage is also very tight, making a big mess there.

Seeing as how they have such a large roadway inside the terminal crescent, I would think they would simply block off a large portion of the inner ring corridor, leaving outside the secure area only the check-in desks, and then build a halway/passage that is outside the secure area along the sidewalk/inner lane to allow people to get around. That would make sense to me, but perhaps it is not seen as a huge issue.
