(In the past, I could get off the SEPTA Airport train at B, go upstairs, clear Pre-Check and be in the AC in less than 5 minutes. So much for that now. ) If the bozos who run PHL absolutely had to consolidate the security lines into Pre-Check and non-Pre-Check, they should have done the reverse: Pre-Check exclusively at B to make it a smoother experience for elites, and regular security exclusively at C.
But isn't it better if you have a flight out of C?
I don't usually need to check in at a counter.
