SDOO at SLC?
Flying out of there for the first time tomorrow. Looks like there are MMWs placed on every line at every checkpoint. Is there anywhere I can SDOO, or is it all luck of the draw there?

I've only been through there a couple of times, but unless one of the body scanners (MMW) is down, doubtful. L-3 Communications, which makes the MMW devices, is literally 10 minutes away from SLC.

FYI, SDOO ended up being very easy. Aside from PreCheck, lanes 1 and 3 are MMW, and lanes 2 and 4 are WTMD. The priority lane dumps right into lane 1 and it's MMW, and despite there being a total of maybe 12-15 people going through, all four lanes were open. I just turned right into the central WTMD-only lane and was done with it.

Always been a mixed bag going out of T1. Once, I was able to do a SDOO, but it cost me a good bit of time. Other times, they're 100% NoS, so I have to opt out.
I'd plan on having to opt out in T1 these days.
