That and the terminal just always seems to reek of Wendy's and fast food.

Terminal 4's security area is bad (as is the weird escalator you have to take down to the gates post security) and the long walk to the gates suck but at least it's modern. The SkyClub experience with it's upgraded food with the outdoor roof (pre-COVID) makes up for any inconvenience.
Terminal 2 is slated to go as well. Terminal 3 had more capacity than was needed with Terminal 4 extensions and was in pretty rough shape as well (remember the "diapers" used to collect rain water from the leaking roof).
