It's not an "upgrade".
We have been using a "temporary" baggage system for International arrivals ever since we opened the not yet completed new terminal.
They are simply finishing a job that they started 4 years ago. (Granted, 9/11 meant a few changes to the plans.)
However it is a step in the right direction...no matter what spin you put on it.
