IAH int'l checkin @ D/E
Just a silly question...
I have flown out of IAH many times on international flights and the outbound security checkpoint can be really long and intensive versus domestic flights out of A/B/C checkpoints. Once you go through security, all of the terminals are connected. For my next int'l flight, can I simply go through any of the other checkpoints to get to my flight at E or there's more to that eye than that?

Back to the int'l checkpoint, it only has a first & business class priority line. No premier line so if there "shouldn't be an issue" then I will be hitting my usual checkpoints in the other terminals.
Thanks and I will give it a try in a few weeks.

In theory Yes you can. If the airport/airline "line guards" try to move you tell them your gate changed, or you are meeting someone in a lounge first.
Every once in a while I've had the line dragons tell me I was in another terminal and the gate change has always worked in getting me through. I try to print my boarding pass in advance when the gate has not been assinged yet which is even easier. The C/E tunnel used to be awesome, no NOS and open most of theday. Now it is NOS and only open morning's but still a nice checkpoint.
