Another thing I'm thinking is whether or not they could move all the ticketing counters to the new passenger processing facility and then proceed on with some sort of replacement of the existing TBIT. Knowing that baggage claim, customs, and access to the people mover will be located in the expanded TBIT core, I think it's possible.

I agree the ticketing and check in desks are a vast improvement over the old ones. we were toured around in there and saw the main baggage control room and surveillance rooms. they have that HUGE temporary baggage sorting facility on the north side. they would probably have to do it again if they did anything with the old TBIT building.
