Checkpoint A/B/C had one MMW when I landed Tuesday. When I left today (Thursday), a second one had been shoehorned in there. I'd suspect there will be a third one eventually. Same setup as the D/E checkpoint, except the far right lane at A/B/C right now is WTMD only.

Thanks for the update. I'm not clear, however. Are you saying that aside from the far lane, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a MMW? Or have the 7 lanes effectively become 4 lanes. Also, aside from the initial morning crush, there are often just 2 or 3 lanes open at the D/E checkpoints. I suspect they will only use the far left lane in the busiest times.
