The same lady as MileageAddict described in his previous post was there checking IDs (she looked pregnant to me, so maybe that's why she didn't move off her stool).
C concourse had only 2 open for afternoon flights.
BWI used to be quick (use that term loosely) even when the lines were long, but that's gotten steadily worse over the last year or so. Wait was unacceptable on Thursday considering how short the line was.
Unfortunately, all DC airports suck. I'd waste the time either traveling to DCA or IAD or in line but they're just as bad. BWI's at least close to home ...
And there was a guy and a woman on stools checking in the afternoon in C gates ... neither of them got off their duffs.
