Couple that with the declaration in DFW of primary soon, reports in another thread that in BOS there are no WTMD, and in MSP there was an entire (apparently) former DL check-in area that was boarded up for construction shortly after the NoS arrived in a different c/p. Last night on the local news was a picture of what appeared to be a whole new c/p with 3 NoS's and no WTMD. This is significant because at MSP there are several c/p's in the main terminal all with 2 WTMD. Not too long ago one of those c/p's was retrofitted with 2 NoS's while the existing WTMD remained, and in another lesser-known c/p with 2 WTMD, one for crew the other for everyone else, one was removed to make room for a shiny, new NoS. They now appear to be in a process of creating c/p's that are NoS only.

If that is the setup that is cropping up around the country, if a court declares them to stop using the NoS, I can see their argument becoming, "Well, we can't because that's all we have now and there's no other option. Sorry." The courts will oftimes defer to financial constraints in these matters such as the ADA no applying to older buildings that would be too expensive to retrofit.

Those of us here, of course, know this argument is complete bollocks, and well, we know how TSA feels about that subject...
