List of airports or checkpoints with NO MMW/BSK?
Hi,
Sorry if this already exists but I don't know where to find it. I know we have a list of airports WITH body scanners (either backscatter or MMW) but I'm wondering if anyone has thought of putting together a list of those that have neither...in other words, WTMD only.
As of today these are the only ones I'm aware of:
DFW: E16 (or somewhere around there)
DFW: A23 (due to close very soon)
DFW: B17 (set up as WTMD only but not sure if they're using it yet)
PHX: American Airlines gates
PHL: American Airlines gates
MSP: Checkpoint #4
LGA: AA concourse D if you are elite (if not SDOO appears relatively easy)
Unfortunately the list isn't very long. We need to change that. But for now, any others that anyone knows of? Thanks.

BWI, A and B gates only (Southwest gates). The scanner-free checkpoint is downstairs on baggage claim level.
FLL concourse B (Southwest gates) has no scanners.
DCA, A gates (JetBlue AirTran Air Canada Southwest Frontier Sun Country) Checkpoint is in an incredibly narrow hallway and it seems impossible to fit the current body scanners there.

As of now, JAN (Jackson, MS) only has metal detectors. I know they were supposed to get scanners a couple of years ago, but there is no word on them ever getting any or installing them.

Others that havn't meen mentioned-
RNO: B Gate (that will be gone once the airport goes to one centralized checkpoint, likely in spring of 2013)
LGB: Last I heard they havn't installed them yet. That will probably change soon.
HNL: Interisland terminal
PSC: Supposed to have body scanners installed in 2012. Not sure of the delay.
FLL: Southwest terminal
BLI
STS
ABE

LGA Marine Air Terminal (Delta Shuttle) is NoS free for now, but it sounds like they are expanding the checkpoint, with one likely coming.
PHX Terminal 3 (both the AA and the DL checkpoints) are NoS free and likely to stay that way (very narrow hallways where they can barely fit a WTMD and 2 x-ray belts in; with the ceilings being much too low to support a MMW)

No, there is no needing to installed the scanners. Only WTMD is more convenient for everyone. They treat them very well. There is no problem at all. They didn't have pat-down. They won't be necessary to installed the scanners at entire T3.

ITH and SYR, as of last summer
BOS - VX and AC checkpoints
JFK T4A, until the consolidated checkpoint opens
JFK T3 West Side Check-in (checkpoints closest to gates 15 and 12), until the building closes in May

Yes, the entire DL terminal 3 will be closed sometime in mid-May 2013. All TSA screener will relocated to entire T4. The scanner will have be remove. However, DL terminal 2 is remain opened for a while. When they constructed the second phase of T4 expansion. There is shuttle bus at gate 19. They will take you to T4.
