In many cases, I’ll slip outside security and blow up the bathrooms in baggage claim or up in some 3rd level obscure loge/office level floor outside security... squirt in peace and KCM my happy ass right back into the terminal.

This method works great for the Starbucks line too! Post-poo of course.

MCI - worst bathroom situation in CONUS. Four stalls to service 15 gates. Genius. I love the bathroom that you have to cut through the Starbucks line to wait outside in line to wait inside in line to find a giant pile of poo clogged in one stall and the other one occupied by a little kid grunting at the top of his lungs. There is invariably pee all over the floor within 4 feet of any urinal or stall and no room to even turn around. Forget bringing your bag in there.

Our personal observations tally 100%. 1/3 of dudes don't wash their hands. Total disregard of their fellow humans. They'll then proceed to shake hands, grab a milk jug from Starbucks, open a door, touch a screen.
Along with driving with highbeams on at all times and having conversations on speakerphone in public, this is evidence in the total decline in civility.
And yes, there should not be a requirement to grab a doorhandle to exit a public restroom.

The current 3 horseshoe shaped terminals were built before any security screening existed. It is too narrow to have groups of screening and a wide area for people to walk, adequate restrooms, places to eat, etc. like DFW. TWA wanted them to fix it, they didn’t, so TWA moved its hub to STL. It left MCI with Braniff as a hub. Braniff went out of business. So, no hub. Southwest has grown to be the largest carrier at MCI. It had finally got so painful the airlines and the city decided to do something about it. . .after 50 years.

At least the KCMO voters approved an entirely new conventional design terminal to replace everything. In design phase. To be opened in 3 years or so. Keep your fingers crossed.

The old TWA overhaul base was across the river at the Fairfax airport (it is no more) in Kansas City, Kansas. July 1951 the great Kaw River flood backed up the Missouri River. Fairfax was completely under water.
They decided to build a runway and overhaul base at what is now MCI. It was opened for overhaul in 1956. Then the passenger service and terminals were built and opened in 1972. At that time MKC became GA.
