There actually was a full baggage check and transfer desk facility setup but it wasn't operational. But as it turns out, it is irrelevant because UA decided to cancel the late night IAD - RDU flight tonight and then rebook me with a 12 hour layover in EWR (no thanks -- switching to the DL flight from DCA) so as it turns out it was good to get the bags in the main terminal because I ended up walking straight out to get a cab to the hotel for the night
