Must have just finished after my last trip. The CTX machines are still sitting out in the lobby creating a bottleneck... Wonder how long it will take to get them gone.

At least this one I can rationalize $36m for an 'invisible' upgrade. I'm still not sure what the previous however-many-million upgrade yielded for the passengers besides less convenient security checkpoints, less convenient off-airport parking pickup/drop off and a couple revolving doors.
