Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out next time. The eastern-most lane is the only one open at 6:00 am, which is probably why I haven't seen the elevators.

A very "union" mentality.
A friend who works for UA at Dulles told me once that a large percentage of the screeners live in WV and some even live in southern PA. That's the same demographic for the sales staff at the Leesburg Outlet Mall. They drive all the way to NOVA for the job and the higher salary. They are too intellectually challenged to realize that they burn ten times the salary differential in gas.
