IAD security checkpoint expanding
4 more security checkpoints will be added at the west end of the current setup. They should be operational by Friday, 11/19 - adding to peak capacity.

Thursday, 23 December approx. 5:00 a.m. (first in line at DL counter for complex int'l itinerary and lots of bags, proceeded directly to checkpoint) - approx. 20 minutes at TSA checkpoint.
Lots of holiday travelers, of course. TSA staff seemed to have an "OK, here we go, holiday travel begins" attitude. Moving people along, watching out for potential problems (have a laptop in there?, don't have to but might want to take that belt off, etc.) and attempting to move things along.
