In addition, they can't send the TSOs to any other airports to train on it, so it's going to be training day when it opens.

From the Press Release:



From the MAC Commission meeting Monday: South Checkpoint (AKA Left Checkpoint). Pre-Check and Clear Only.

North Check Point (Aka Right Checkpoint): General Passengers, Clear, Pre-check. All 10 lanes should be open at peek as the South Checkpoint staff will be positioned there.

MSP is the first airport to use the McDonald Humphrey Automated Screening Lane along with the Smith's X-Ray Machine. Most other airports use RapidScan X-Ray with the ASL lanes. So the three week window is longer than normal because we're the first to use this system combination. In addition, they can't send the TSOs to any other airports to train on it, so it's going to be training day when it opens.

Wow, live training. Doesn't that sound fun.

Precheck (two lanes) and Clear are in full effect at South FYI.....regular line at North did not look fun today (~30 mins or so quoted on the board).

I went through the South lane which was pretty empty. Using Clear I was through the line in 2 minutes or less yesterday.

Ugh, my next trip is on AF. J class of course, but they don't do Pre.

My daughter read about the lane closures and that pushed her over the line to sign up for precheck. She is at her appointment right now (lots of time slots available at Bloomington.)

She flies a fair amount to and from college and internships. We just returned from vacation- had precheck courtesy of my GE trusted traveler status. She had forgotten what normal security used to be.

Delta seems to be very diligent with this message. I received it yesterday in regard to my flight to MSP

That's real useful---unless TSA plans to subject us to "security" checks upon arrival.
