Not sure if this tip still works, but you used to be able to use the security line for the C gates and then cut over to the tram for the D, IIRC.
"TSA is doing their very finest job to put UA out of business in Las Vegas with their third-world handling of security at the D gates at McCarran...."

No, this is not possible any longer.
They installed doors and locked them so anyone going from C to D or vice-versa must go through the security area for his/her flight. The people checking your tickets/boarding passes will also catch you and redirect you if you try to go through the other's security area.
I would agree with the last statement quoted above but would amend it to say ALL AIRLINES, not just UA. It is pathetic at LAS.
