In a word: awful.

I went from never taking more than 5 minutes getting through security at Pier C to 20 minutes yesterday at Pier D. And I don't see 11:30am as rush hour.

Only three lanes open at security. Very short line before ID check in priority line. Very long line after. Yes, they were using the radiation machines but I was lucky and they were backing up so I ended up going through x-ray.

Flight went out D21 and I got there just as they were calling zone 2. They were only using one line since it didn't look like the space between the wall and the scanner was wide enough for two lanes.

Bottom line: I strongly suggest giving yourself more time to get through security now than before. I know this is only a sample of one but I'll be surprised if this isn't the norm.
I second this. Yesterday (Sunday) at 3pm it took 20 minutes to clear security. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. It made me miss the very dumpy C Terminal.
