Most disorganized security setup for terminals
 
I vote for MIA Terminal D. Chaos reigns supreme. However, kudos to the eventual TT rescue last night, once I finally fought my way to the TSA boarding pass check.

And the opposite . . .

At the opposite extreme is St. Louis. Over the past few weeks, I've rarely encountered more than two people in front of me at the D and B security checkpoint unlike the A checkpoint that always has several people in the first class line held back by coach people who agressively seem to block first class from merging in.

A fourth security checkpoint will soon be opening at MIA's terminal D which will hopefully make things less chaotic.

As this is not about American Airlines but about the TSA it has been retitled and is being sent to the Practical Travel Safety Issues

JFK T2/T3. No doubt about it.

Surely the most insane has to be ATL where you have to go through security on arrival and have no intention of flying:D

Nah*... just terminal design by people who didn't conceive of the entire airport as a "secure facility". It wasn't that many years ago that you could walk through most of the airport without a ticket - or an ID.

And, FWIW, the new international terminal will (hopefully) solve the international arrivals security issue. I still haven't heard how you are supposed to get from the int'l terminal to the car rental facility, but hopefully they will work that out before opening day.


*But I agree wholeheartedly that you shouldn't have to be screened to leave the airport. Why they haven't found another way to permit you to exit the airport, I don't understand.

T3 is actually pretty well organized, if painfully slow: there's one line. Stand in it. And when I opt out I get cheerful, professional treatment. You just have to allow 45-60 minutes to get through at peak times.

And the best (or one of the best ) IMHO - is MCI - it is a dream.

Really? Have they fixed the arrangement where "security" separates the pax at the gate from vendors and, in some cases (IIRC), restrooms? That sounds more like a bad dream.

Yes, that has been fixed. There are now food and restrooms after security. Plus free WiFi.

It has been fixed for quite a while.
