I fly out of D a lot and the line can get pretty nasty ... STILL goes down to the E concourse a lot The elite line is the same as the crew line for the most part. In theory, it's good only for gold and above on the airlines that are there, plus F. In practice, I've never had any problems there even as a silver. Elite line is rarely busy.
BWI is in love with the Nude-O-Scopes in D and has been closing off the WTMD lines lately. D could get ugly anyway as it was normally a slow checkpoint, but it's gotten worse since the NoS are used more heavily.
AirTran moved to B to be with Southwest, opening up the 5 gates DL is using in D. BWI is going remodel C, create a new B/C security checkpoint, and create a behind security pathway between B and C, so they are trying to get the airlines out of it. JetBlue and Delta have moved now. I think AA will stay in C during this process.
