Flew from CLE twice last week.
Both times the Elite line was active/manned.

Only ONCE this year did I enter through the C shoe carnival when the elite line was not active. That was because the TSA was having a bar-b-que outside between the terminal and parking structure (near where the limos park). When I walked across the pedestrian bridge I noticed smoke coming from below. I looked down and saw two grills cooking (whatever) and probably 20 people wearing jacket with TSA printed on the backs.
