I went through the new precheck checkpoint yesterday. It's to the left of the GS lobby. Didn't see a door from the GS lobby to the new precheck area, maybe they'll build that at some point.

People were definitely getting used to it, and done people were complaining about the long walk

Everything must go into a bin, no matter what. At the end, they ask you to return the bin to the stack at the end or hand it to a TSA employee so it can go on the return belt.

There area two lanes and three doc check stands, I think.

There wasn't a high volume at 645am on Tuesday, so not sure if it'll be more efficient than the old line. Monday morning at 5am and maybe Thursday around 4 or 5 in the afternoon will be higher volume, and interested to hear thanksgiving reports.
