A few years ago, ARN (Stockholm) had screening for incoming internationals. Lost a corkscrew from a picnic set that had been a gift (cleared BWI and random inspection at KEF).
These days, no incoming screening, but the odd timings of some of the check-ins can cause a really odd pile-up in Terminal 5. No zig-zag for two of them, very small one for the third, causing people to be lining up to either block the way into SkyCity or blocking check-in desks. On the other hand, the express lane seems to be working and usually clear.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're in uniform, under orders for a charter to a war zone, with proper ID, you walk on through the checkpoint with a smile and best wishes.
It's not just DFW, that's at BWI, too. Very sad.
DFW had its own issues but my last trip there was in October 2001 so I'm loathe to bash it now with no current info.
