Can't vouch for the SkyClub, but I beg to differ with this description of security at the T1 B gates. It
used to be a breeze when the elite checkpoint was F only, and fed to an ordinary metal detector. But now the former F lane channels directly to the nude-o-scope, where it mixes with one of the general screening lanes to boot. On top of that, it was expanded to include WN Fly-by pax and what seems like a thousand other people, to the point where my last few times at T1 security the so-called elite lane has been significantly slower than any of the other security lanes. Nearly missed my first flight after the change--two years of never needing more than 5 minutes for screening went to 25-30 minutes out of nowhere.
