I did shop at the Air Mall. Still had to go through security, but once that was over, it was fun. Word is that this event was a test. If it really has worked out, maybe TSA will eventually allow non-ticketed passengers to shop the mall all the time like in the old days.

Did TSA put you though the regular routine? Or was it somewhat abbreviated? How long was the line? How much time was it to get through?

Best airport in the world is Singapore. Their security consists of a metal detector like arch to get into the numerous hubs where planes park and embark/disembark. Plus they have random security people walking around with wands and are not bashful about profiling the usual suspects.

If someone started squawking about their civil rights not to be profiled, they would probably just get additional security measures as an object lesson.
