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.
As someone who flies through NAS 10-15 times a year I would like to know what you are talking about. First off Co does not have skycap's at NAS and any person that helps you is a local. They need to check you in and once that happens you will then go to the line with everyone else. If they somehow can move you to the front of that line you still need to go through security and metal detectors before you get to immigration. At that point no sky cap is allowed and they cannot help you. I have already been through NAS 4 time since November and the situation you talk about does not exist.
