DFW
I know which checkpoints have the NOS thanks to the thread. However I was wondering if anyone had a list of all the CP's there? I'm traveling next month and want to know which CPs are safe? I've only flown from there a few times and I am not too familiar of all the available cp's.

If you are leaving from DFW, then all of C and D are bad news. A23 was still WTMD only the last time I flew. I think there are still a couple of MMW free gates in E for those that fly on other airlines.

If you are flying thru DFW and don't have get your luggage (or a smoke), then the whole airport is pretty safe. You can get to all of the gates without leaving the "secure" area the Skylink train can get you to any gate in under 15 minutes.

A23 is safe, don't confuse it with nearby A21 which is not. E15 and E17 are both safe also. All the other A,C,D,E checkpoints have MMW. Not sure about B.
The whole airport is connected airside, so you can use any checkpoint, then ride the skylink train. It's rare to see much of a line at any of the checkpoints.
If your AA flight leaves out of A or C, then A23 is your best bet. If you leave out of D, then E17 may be a bit closer.
FWIW, all the non-WTMD scanners at DFW are MMW with the new "gumby" imaging software. No Backscatter.
