They arent even doing the card a PHL D/E. You just tell the guy, he sticks a bowl before/after your bag or just verbally tells the guy and then you go through the metal detector. I didn't take anything out (laptop stayed in)
I wouldn't even mind having to take the laptop out, its the unpredictable line length. That's why I'm wondering if any PHL flyers here know if C precheck is still there. Maybe I should ask in the AA forum.
