not sure what you mean by convenient....is it that the exit is located right next to the entrance? haven't had the pleasure of t1 at ord hence my question but since more pax enter vs exit (in terms of lines backing up not numbers/volume) surely what was observed could be moved to the exit (or maybe not as like i said, i haven't had the pleasure of ord, t1) just my two hockey pucks :)

Checkpoint 1: No exit lane
Checkpoint 2: No exit lane
Checkpoint 3: Exit lane. This checkpoint is at the far end of T1 and heads to T2. It is not convenient to use if you have to go to the C concourse or to the high B gates-- it would be very far out of the way for that.

So much for it being a sterile area... I was under the impression that FAMs entered the "sterile area" using other methods. It would probably be pretty noticeable for a FAM like person to be spotted if they had a TSO opening the gate every time they were at a checkpoint...
