Answer to #1: TRUE!

Answer to #2: False (kind of)

#1 - the Central Terminal Project presently underway includes consolidation of the B & C Concourse security checkpoints to the center of the terminal (there is a model of the new expansion at the point where the checkpoint entrance will be located). The project is being adjusted to include additional checkpoint equipment as a result of 9/11. The entire project will be completed in 2004. The airport will then have 3 security checkpoints - 1 at the south end of the terminal (which will mirror the D/N checkpoint), one in the central terminal, and the existing D/N checkpoint. Also, circulation will be redesigned so one can walk between the A/B/C/D gates entirely on the secure side.

#2 - the "Terminal Shuttle" train (which runs from the Main Terminal North station to the Main Terminal South station exists and was running until late last year - it is now being renovated and will reopen in 2004. No new train tunnels/routes will be constructed.
