<redacted by moderator>. PreCheck is open at D/E from 3:45 AM to 8 PM. That is my preferred checkpoint at PHL regardless of what terminal I am flying from. I have never seen D/E be all MMW scanners, unless it was past 8 PM.

Now, I have occasionally seen them go with the "lets pile everyone past the dogs then give them all PreCheck screening, with WTMD and no item removal from bags, shoes on, etc." <redacted by moderator> over at D/E.

That's rare, and when that happens I just walk over to C because the infrequent flyers get all kinds of confused. C is all PreCheck when it is open (4:15 - 20:00).
