Don't know how long this is in effect. Perhaps another reason to avoid the North checkpoint.
The C checkpoint (which is between the Central and North checkpoints and usually only used during busy times of year) is open through Monday while the North checkpoint will only have limited lanes open during this time. The TSA is experimenting with different checkpoint arrangements to optimize passenger flow.
