A six-lane security screening checkpoint opened last week, and the original checkpoint was closed for remodeling, at MSP's Terminal 2-Humphrey, which is used by AirTran Airways, Sun Country and other low-cost airlines. The new checkpoint, along with a large new floor mosaic, is located near the skyway to parking and light-rail transit.

By early next year, the terminal will also host six new concessions, including a Surdyk's Flights cafe.KERRI WESTENBERG
