A final update and correction. It was terminal 4, everything else, no change.

Flew back out early this morning. Got there about 5:30 am for a 7:30. Almost nobody there yet on the Saturday morning, but it was busy by 6.

Both lines were open, one on the let using scanner/WTMD. The one on the right using WTMD only. I could choose either, so I took the right (duh).

I do not know how long it stayed that way, but it shows that there are times where you can do a Self-Selected Positional Opt Out.

Two other unrelated data points. Nexus was a mystery, neither the airline nor the TDC want to take it. Both eventually did. The TDC pulled out a typed manual of which I had never seen, made a phone call, and I got the magic squiggle. I thought about peeking but relented when I thought about how much trouble I would be in if it was SSI. And, my bag full of electronics passed through the xray and came flying out to me before I could even get my computer stored. My electronics should never go though without a swab, that is if they are really serious about checking such stuff.
