I disagree with you totally, I travel through the airport quite frequently, and I find it a bit of a jumbled mess. It's not all the time that people want to go through the airport security as soon as they have checked in, and the scheduled check-in area is an extremely miserable place to spend more than 30 seconds, granted the airport after security is very nice, but the security area itself does not look up to scratch, having travelled through the airport a few times recently, it looks rather temporary. The sooner it is rectified the better.
Thanks for the info on the new terminal.
