I have regularly 'expedited' through security to the front of the U.S. immigration line in NAS by 'tipping' a skycap. Once, one told me straight out that I needed to 'tip' him sufficiently, because every airport employee we passed along the way (including security) gets a cut. Flame me if you will, but that's how it works there. Sometimes I think the whole country runs on tips. Never had any idea the same thing could happen in a U.S. airport with TSA. Truly astonishing.
