Priority Security lines at IAD?
I am off to MAN on BD tonight from IAD at 6pm.
This is my first departure out of IAD so I have a couple of questions:
1. How busy is IAD at that time?
I am flying in J so check in probably won't be busy (since there are only 6 pax in J tonight) but what about security checks?
2. Is there a priority security line at IAD for F/J premium pax? If so where is it located?
Many thanks,

Most long haul international flights leave IAD between 6-10PM so security lines are usually packed between 4-8PM
No priority security lines at IAD but if you enter by the ANA counter rather than the main line by UA you'll bypass a lot of it.

There is now (since July) 1 consolidated checkpoint at IAD with 22 stations (due to construction). The line can be long but it also moves very fast. There are 2 entrances to the line but both feed into the same area and the line checkers try to balance the lines so that both take about the same lenght of time to go through.
