I had a 8:20 flight on monday. The difference in the security line at the D/N gates is astonishingly different than at 6am.
The front (UA) counter had already "closed" the IAD flight. It was 7:35. She said that I wouldn't make it through security, b/c it was already
double queued. I inquired if the 1K line had been shut down, and she replied, "OH yea, that's right. You can make that flight!"
By the way... I work in NJ, so it wasn't me at Subway!
