At the time SATTSO announced the removal, BNA had just completed two brand new ones. Big ones. I got to use one a few weeks ago. There was room for me, all my stuff, swabbing and disassembling of my bag, my frisker and his supervisor. Even with all of this there was room for another PAX to get his frisk at the same time. It was like a community event. Cold beer and chips and we could party in that thing. They built two of them, one on each side of the elevated LEO observance throne room where they can watch for people taking photos. And they took nothing out of the security area to do this. Therefore, our brand new (almost) airy, roomy, open security area is now as cluttered and crowded as the ones in older airports. There are a bunch of WTMD's, five or six scanners, rope lines, metal conveyors, and roof support posts that just happen to be where you have to put your stuff on the xray conveyor, push it behind the post, walk around the post and continue its journey from the other side.
