On that side at IAH the kiosks are in the middle. The lines directly to them were roped off, so I actually undid a rope barrier clip, walked around and snapped it back in place, which got some funny looks from pax. I walked straight up to the kiosk, and it scanned everything in less than 20 seconds (fastest yet for me and it didn't ask my flight). I answered yes to the food question (also for the first time) and got the X. I proceeded to the booth just next to the kiosk. THe agent saw my receipt and passport and waived me right over. I said I answered yes to the food questions, and he asked what kind I had. We talked about it for about 30 seconds, and he stamped the back of the receipt and I was good to go. Bag on the first off, and I was out the door and at my car from jetway to car in about 10 minutes, and that was due to the longer walk from gate E-7 and a bathroom break. Great program as always.

Ciao,
