From AFA Council 10 Newsletter (May 26, 2006)

This message is to clarify the changes to employee security.

The old checkpoint is closing forever at 12 pm (noon) on 5/31.

A new checkpoint in the south addition is opening on 6/1. It is located on the upper level of terminal 1 by the connecting hall between terminal 1 and terminal 2.  The designated employee lane will be lane 1, which is the far right hand lane.

After 12 pm on 5/31 only, employees may receive priority processing at any open terminal 1 security checkpoint by showing their employee badge.

When the new employee lane opens on 6/1 employees should use this employee lane to receive priority processing whenever  this checkpoint is open.

When the new employee lane opens on 6/1 employees should use this employee lane to receive priority processing whenever  this checkpoint is open. The lane will be dedicated to employees from 0530-0900 seven days a week.  Outside of these hours, the tsa plans to use this as a "flex lane" to accommodate the general public during peak hours.

Employees will continue to receive priority processing by displaying  their airport badge. The checkpoint should open by 6 am on 6/1 normal planned hours for the checkpoint are 0430-2000.

Employees may use any open checkpoint, but will not be given  priority over the general public when the employee lane is open.
