All these reports are for UA counters/terminals.

Mon Oct 1 BUR 730AM no lines, but they said it gets busy (up to an hour) at certain times of the day, especially 530-620AM. Hand luggage and passenger search was extremely thorough.

Wed Oct 3 IAD 400PM, long lines to check in. 1K/First was 15 minutes; Premier/Business was 30 minutes; I didn't ask the regular folks, but it looked like a good hour or so. Security lines were short, under 2 minutes. Security itself was the lightest I have seen anywhere since 9/11.

Fri Oct 5 LAX 400PM, long lines to check in. 1K/First was 15 minutes, other lines looked like previous entry (30 minutes and 1 hour). Security line was 3-4 minutes, checks were fairly thorough.

Sat Oct 6 IAD 100PM, very short lines, but they said it was jam packed at 600AM that morning, so certain times are busy. Security again no line and very little checking going on, despite now the National Guard with rifles is everywhere.
