How to get through faster at ISP

Treat 2100 as a hard leftover close
Official TSA card prints 0400–2100 and also says the checkpoint closes after the last scheduled departure.
There is one ticketed-pax departure hall. Official leftover A / B after the same screening story. Live FIDS printed A1–A8 and Cape Air B15 on 13 Sep 2026. Official pages do not print a standing airline-to-gate map — read FIDS.
Eat after TSA if you can. Official Dunkin’ / Great American Bagel leftover 4:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Landside leftover is the unnamed salad/sandwich counter at the terminal entrance plus East End Getaway / CNBC before screening.
Official leftover: landside ticketing / bag claim / East End Getaway atrium; one screening story; leftover Veterans Memorial Concourse airside with Concourse A and Concourse B. Official amenities leftover: Mothers’ Room past TSA at the top of the escalators/elevators; ATM across from Dunkin’; Paradies gift shop across from Gate A5; CNBC Store before screening; pet relief outdoors beyond bag claim.

PreCheck, CLEAR, liquids and IDs. What the TSA lets through and which programs actually save time.
