Yes, terminal A. You can still select your own lane. The secondary ID check/interrogation podium is about ten feet after the preliminary one and about 10 feet before you go through the large doorway to the actual WTMD/NoS lanes. It's more or less the same setup as the pre-interrogation security setup where if you choose the elite ID check lane you end up going through the door on the right and most people in the regular ID check line end up going through the door on the left.
Most of my SDOO's, especially a BOS for some reason, are a result of me unwaveringly staring down the clerk manning the WTMD until he/she waves me through it.
