It's gotten worse. The TSA is now checking IDs there (albeit the ones who are doing the on-the-job training). It used to be the private "security" folks, running down the checklist of what to look for (really there was one, taped to the podium in a plastic protective sleeve).

Yesterday, with the TSA-Liters, and someone hauled up from baggage, presumably to handle the abysmal lines. Not all podiums were in use, either. Those podiums were put in to answer the "choke point" problem (read: bad TSA PR) addressed a few months ago. Yesterday had the longest lines I've seen there in awhile.
