Security and check in has changed over last 20 years, and pickup is changing too. Money makers are now post security for the airport.
It is the world today, most of these services should be pushed to air side long term.

Bingo. I had a layover in NY last year and used the check-in at JFK. I was surprised at how little there is for retail compared to the post security section. It makes sense, most people are now pick up and drop off, and when the passengers are dropped off they go right to the check in. Retail in the post security area is kinda pointless these days.
