Status	Airline	Checkpoint	Date	Notes	Time	Wait
	DL		2013-01-20	All 3 of us outed out. Husband had false positive. Taken to closed room.	620p
	DL	2	2012-10-03	The WTMD on the right now has a MMW. Only pre-check escapes.	100p
	DL	C gates	2012-09-27	Appeared that most travelers were being pointed towards the MMW, although when there was any sort of backup they'd point people to the WTMD.
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-09-24	All lanes led to MMW scanners. Used to be some lanes led to WTMD but sadly this is no longer the case.	210p	10
	All	Terminal 1	2012-06-24	Loooked like everyone was getting microwaved.	230p
	All	Terminal 1	2012-06-24	Loooked like everyone was getting microwaved.	230p
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-06-24	WTMD only lane in use at this time.	230p
	DL	2	2012-06-15	The few people at this hour were scanned, unless they had Precheck (left lane). Did not see anyone use the precheck lane when I was in the area.	230p
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-05-24	Left-hand lane and second from right are MMW. Second from left and far right are WTMD-only. All lanes open; SDOO easy. TSO asked why I went a lane over instead of walking straight into the MMW lane, said I objected to the scanners. He replied that he hears that a lot, wished me safe travels and headed over to be the male assist on another lane.	1230p	5
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-04-16	Terminal 2 had one MMW scanner in use which could be avoided by staying to the right for one of several WTMDs. All gates can be accessed from Terminal 2.	1020a	5
	DL	Terminal 2	2012-01-02	At terminal 2, make your way into the middle of the three lines. Note that since the MMW and WTMD share one bag X-ray lane, it will be very difficult to not get the MMW in a line that is using it.	300p
	DL	Terminal 3	2012-01-02	When I walked by it, saw the MMW was closed for a shift change. While closed, although some went through the detector, they appeared to be intentionally slowing down the security process. Soon it opened again and happily the TSA could microwave people again.	300p
	DL	2	2011-12-22	Consistent with other reports, stay right	1200p
	All	C	2011-12-08	Didn't go thru, just observed. Few pax and lots of TSOs, mos pax seemed to go through WTMD.	920p	0
	AA	1	2011-11-15
	WN	Terminal 1	2011-11-09	At 7 PM there were few passengers and only one lane open with a MMW scanner. Only option for avoiding scanner was to go to terminal 2 with a long wait but you could choose between the MMW scanner and WTMD. All gates can be accessed from either terminal 1 or 2.
	DL	Terminal 2	2011-11-09	At 7 PM two lanes were open with a long line of passengers. Leftmost lane had MMW scanner, right had WTMD. Avoid scanner by staying to the right.
	DL	2	2011-11-03	T2 had 3 lines. Center was random WTMD or MMW, others were WTMD only. Self-select. Most pax using lines for WTMDs.
	DL	2	2011-10-24	At 7 PM, TSA laying in wait for the few unlucky passengers who arrive at this hour to zap them in the MMW
	DL	2	2011-10-20	Middle lane is sfe in main one. Also, check to see if the litte one on the left is open. When I arrived on my 1st flight, it was WTMD only, but it had closed when my connecting flight left.
	DL	2	2011-09-09	Some pairs of lanens have scanners, some don't . Your choice.
	DL	Terminal 2	2011-08-04	Stay to the right line for WTMD
	WN	Terminal 1	2011-07-05	Metal detectors were there and I wanted to use one, but all passengers I saw were directed to MMW machines.
	WN	Terminal 1	2011-07-04	One MMW scanner in use - easily avoided by staying to the right
	WN	Terminal 1	2011-05-25	All lines feeding into MMW. Incredibly long lines backing up into baggage claim, some pax were being fed into WTMD due to long lines.
	DL	Terminal 2	2011-05-25	Only 2 MMW in use. Avoidable by going to middle lane WTMD. All gates are accessable from this CP, so go to T2 to avoid MMW in T1.
	WN	Terminal 1	2011-05-20	3 Lines all leading to MMW
	DL	Terminal 2	2011-05-15	1MMW used in left most lane, easily avoided by selecting a lane to the right
	WN	terminal 1	2011-04-26	Terminal 1 has 3 MMW scanners - view security area from second level (from parking/rental garage walkway) to ascertain scanner usage prior to entering check point. I chose the middle MMW, since there was a rope around it, while the one to the left had a very small percentage of passengers going through it.
	DL	Terminals 1 and 2	2011-01-24	Terminal 1 has 3 MMW scanners, 1 scanner and 1 metal detector in use, passengers could self select lane. Terminal 2 has 2 MMW scanners, none in use, all passsengers going through metal detector. All gates can be accessed from any terminal.
	DL	Terminal 2	2010-12-31	Easy to choose a line without the MMW scanner.
	all	Terminal 1	2010-12-20	scanners not in use
	DL	The family line	2010-12-20	There were two main lines, one that was very long (and may have branched off) and another family line, which we were directed to. We were only sent through metal detector, though there was an MMW, and it was being used, though none of us in the family line were directed toward it.
	all	Terminal 1 & 2	2010-12-01	Scanners installed but not used regularly. At terminal 2 (DL) the scanner is in the center of the screening area. Priority passengers can avoid it, and regular passengers can avoid it by staying to the right, dependent on passenger flow.
