MODERATORS
The article says “officers responded to [an incident in] terminal J”. Every airport I’ve ever seen, large and small, have had the terminal behind security.
The terminal includes everything from check in to baggage pick up, before and after security, and often includes a food court and shops that are before security.
Maybe you're thinking of the "gate area" of the terminal? That's behind security.
It's been years since I've seen any food or retail on temperature non-secure side of any airport.
It still exists in a lot of cities. Maybe outside USA, but definitely still exists.
The baggage check area often leads to multiple lettered sections with collections of gates.
If the terminal is all of it, what is the letter designated collection of gates called?
The gates. Or the gate area.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_terminal
So it seems the final answer from Wikipedia is that a terminal is the whole thing, and a collection of gates is a concourse, but a concourse is also a terminal, even though the concourse is in the terminal, which means that terminals are in terminals, and the rate at which an airport grows large enough for their concourses to be terminals is called the “terminal velocity”.
Did I miss anything?
Maybe it's a regional thing.
I did forget the word concourse though. I wouldn't use it in casual conversation.
At this point, I’m not even sure airports are real.
Dulles International has a single security and check in area, with all terminals behind security. They may be more familiar with a similarly configured airport
Are you claiming that there are metal detectors and agents at every single entrance at every airport you've been in?
Are you confused as to what a terminal is?
Maybe I should have started all this by saying I’m not an airport expert. I’m a dude who has flown on planes before.
I’ve always understood the terminal to be the waiting area that the plane pulls up too—in other words, the journey terminates at the terminal gate. Yes, I have only ever seen that area assessable after you’ve passed security—at least it’s been that way post 9/11.
If there is some nuance here where a terminal includes some parts outside of security, just say that. The tone I perceive in your post seems to be trying to make me look like a fool, and I don’t appreciate it.
FWIW, I'm a dude who has flown on planes before and my understanding of terminals was the same as yours.
Toronto Pearson, eg, has 2 terminals (1 & 2).
That's what they are named. Because that is what they are.
There are at least a dozen places to eat, pre-security.
I've been there over 3000 times since 2013. And eaten there many of those times.
Top of my head, I've been in 40 international airports, and except for Havana, I've never been screened pre-departure area.
Maybe my understanding was mistaken then? In my defense, I haven't been on a plane in like well over a decade lol
You must be lost, bud. Reddit is that-a-way.
