General strike by the federal work force. We'd all support them.

This idiocy from Trump and cowardice from the GOP needs to end now.

Terminals C and E are United's big planes, D is international. A is domestic for everybody but United with a handful of United regional, and B is the other 95% of United Express. Also, A has security on both sides of the terminal. If they shut down B, it makes me wonder what happened to that second security location in A because that would have struck me as less important than the terminal which handles basically all United Express. Admittedly, you're going to get a lot of plane changing going on at a hub, but I'd still have expected them to shut down an A checkpoint first. Maybe even E, considering how it is basically a wing on Terminal C.
