Yeah, I remember the days of trying to be the SECOND one down the jetway. I'm glad I am smarter than a terriorist.
Actually, I noted the gate screening happening on my flight out of PIT on Saturday (6/14). Two friendly (they actually were -- I chatted with them briefly) TSOs were standing at the gate. They appeared to be marking off something on a clipboard as each passenger passed the BP reader. I didn't see anyone stopped, but I was about 9th or 10th on the plane.
