When I went to the airport I had my e-ticket. Then you go to the computer terminals and check in. Then you go to the luggage check in. Then to the terminal. Pretty quick, but give yourself more time since it's t-day.

2 hours should be fine. I usually get there an hour early and i'm sitting for 40+ minutes of that at my gate. I fly out of Baltimore-Washington Int...which is a pretty popular airport considering it's right by the capital. I've never had a problem other than when the machine wasnt working for my e-ticket (the system froze). Every once in a while I'm the one who has to go through the extra security..but that only takes 5 minutes or less.

2 hours should be more than ok. Have a safe flight!

And I would say to take some cash. For that car magazine or stop in the Starbucks when you've reached the peak or airport boredom.
And it's just nice to know you've got it in case ALL the ATM's in the place are out of order.

At Philly International I usually do 3 hours. I stood in the security line one time for 1.5 hours. And to check my bags took 45 minutes.
