I can understand the special treatment in front of the airline counter, but
the TSA running the passenger screening is a government agency.

Usually, the premiere line only bypasses the general security line but then
melds back in right before you get to the xray equipment.

Vegas was an exception...the silver/gold/platinum line for America West went
to it's own separate equipment and did not mix you in with everyong else. I
don't think I've ever seen that anywhere else. Perhaps it's just another
case where what happens in Vegas...stays in Vegas! ;O)
