Best wishes to you.
Please do check in once you're back safely.
Update #1 directly from Denver International.
Security took a whopping 11 minutes from the entrance to the screening line until I had my shoes back on on the other side. The only thing out of the ordinary was a double check on my I.D. The screener looked at my photo, then at me, then at the photo and back at me again and said have a nice flight. No additional searches of my luggage or my person. I didn't even take my belt off. I was asked if I was in possession of any liquids and informed them I dumped my shaving cream, toothpaste and lens solution at the hotel. And that was it.
I did notice each station was busy with direct passenger searches with the hand wands which was unusual. Also, the entire TSA team was meeting for the shift that just finished and I overheard a part of the conversation to learn there have been very few customers who were in any way irate.
And one other unusual sight. Ever local TV station had a crew there doing passenger interviews.
Honestly, I expected and hoped for a more thorough security process. I also noticed nothing unusual outside of the airport either.
