Hearing that they will make a last minute call on the landing site makes me nervous. So they load for CA and then if they decide to try for FL, then they have to quickly re-enter the data?

Is that about right?

I guess they have backup and double checking procedures?

Looks like Edwards AFB for landing. Both yesterday and today, they kept two options for multiple orbit approaches. NASA really wanted the landing to occur at KSC.
