There is no longer a pretense that the airlines run any part of the passenger security checkpoints at airports. The TSA serves all citizens and should not afford special privileges based upon airline policies. Passengers should not have the privilege of shorter security lines because they paid more for their ticket, have an airline credit card, or fly frequently on a particular airline. This would not apply to those who have been pre-cleared for security, which is something the government determines and not the airlines.
