The New Logan
I'm flying out of Boston today to DC, and I got to experience the new Logan airport. Well, at least parts of it.
Central Parking now has 7 stories. Parts of each floor are still under construction, but hopefully, this is going to lead to fewer weird parking situations. The top floor has some beautiful views, of Boston, the airfield, and the water. (The airfield view is potentially disconcerting, if you worry about shoulder-launched munitions, as Central Parking does not have a trunk check, unlike Terminal B parking).
The Terminal B extension (Gates B 22 through B 26, where American Eagle operates) is now part of Terminal B. No longer are commuters stuck with a small food kiosk and no restroom while waiting for their flight, as a nice stroll down a sunlit walkway connects these gates to the main section of Terminal B. On the down side, there was clearly a lack of foresight - there is exactly one available power outlet left in the annex (If someone finds some, other than the one outside Fan Room 8, let me know!).
The new security measures are ... interesting. You can have fluids and gels, but only if they are in 3 oz. containers, and all the containers fit into a liter ziploc bag. Okay, so clearly, volume is an issue. But only the liter constraint provides protection, as an attacker could easily divide their liquids into multiple 3 ounce containers.
And now my flight is delayed. I had a one hour buffer, and we're delayed 35 minutes. Fortunately, the plane just arrived, so another delay is unlikely.
