AA Flights MIA Terminal A - Connected to B-E now?

Is there an inside security passageway from A gates to the B gates now at MIA? It appears on the AA site that it is B-E and not A-E(omitting the horrible E20-35 of course)?

I may be arriving at A and leaving from B ad would hate to be outside security at A and have to go thru TSA for a 20 yard walk.

The passageways behind security are physically connected A-E. During my last trip through MIA in May B-A was completely open. In the past, it was roped off behind security with a secondary guard screening access.

That is a relief. Although with my luck I will land at E20-35 and this will be purely academic as I will be outside security anyway after the MIA TRAAIN .

I have only walked as far as B before usually to the AC inside security at B5 so I hadn't known until now you can keep going to A.

On a related note, since A-E except for the E sat are connected, which security checkpoints are the best bet for avoiding the lines? E's was an absolute mess midday last Thursday... nobody was getting through except when TSA realized a flight was about to leave and called those pax out of line. (They never called SFO passengers out of line, for example, so that flight had to be held.) I gather D is pretty busy too, but maybe A or B or C is a better bet in general?

As long as you are not stuck at E20-35 the inner curve of the terminal's banana shape is pretty short so just walk from security area to security area, you are bound to find one that is pretty slack , realtive to the others. I have found B to be OK most times, and in the .01% chance they are asking why you are entering B when you are leaving from E, then say they changed the gate or you are going to the Admirals Club in B.
