The only two airports that I know of that don't do it this way is Ft. Lauderdale and Boise.
But you're right, just because it isn't happening to me doesn't mean it's not happening.
Since you fly a lot too can you say you've seen TSA be disrespectful to anyone?
They released this today, but no video? Hmm, that's not sounding good.

I can only speak for airports I've been in....and the only separation I've ever seen for security lines is if you're a certain level club member of an airline. For example when I fly for work Im allowed to use the "fast" lane because of some kind of deal they have.
Have you ever actually been in the Atlanta airport? There is no division amongst seat classes....there are only a few "special" lines if you've got a certain membership with Delta or Air Tran. Dave is platinum with Delta and we use that line sometimes if the other is insanely large, and yes I've gotten pulled in that one too.
Yeah I've seen them be dicks and yes I've seen them be nice, me personally? I have always been nice and respectful like my parents taught me because whether I like it or not these people are in a position of *authority*, maybe thats the difference....I dont be a bitch just cause I *can* its the old "you catch more flies with honey" kind of thing.
I think Im done here...all of us that fly can each tell their own experience and it will be different somehow. I've been in airports around from the mega kind to the tiny one in Rochester NY (that HAS to be the smallest airport I've ever seen its even smaller than the one in Greenville) and it boils down to....know your rules, know how to respond to a side search. Its no different than knowing how to respond to the cop that pulls you over.
