so not sure when this happened but experienced today the new entrance to Nexus/Global Entry area at Pearson Terminal 1.

Instead of going in at the front you have to walk all the way around and through crowds of people checking bags etc to get to the entrance. And of course the security check is the same place as it has always been. In other words you get more steps in and it takes longer to get to entrance and no other benefit that I can see.

am I missing something about this “New” entrance that makes it better? (There is a sign posted that says new which might get your hopes up that new is better)
