TSAMGR and TakeScissorsAway,
CameraGuy is saying that one of the checkpoints at RDU has the screener/hired ticket checker first. Then they have a ticket checker in the SSSS line or the WTMD ticket checker. But at the very end of the checkpoint they also have another ticket checker that only checks boarding passes after you've completed getting yourself together.
TakeScissosrsAway you sure that one of the other checkpoints isn't doing something stupid like this?
