I'd love to see you "politely" ask me if you can just skip right past me because you're on your annual queue-jumping fest.
I don't see how this "policy" can possibly benefit anyone except you. I can picture exactly what happens, you have people in front of you who are putting their things on the conveyor belt, you rock up all bright and cheerful asking them something that is most likely completely out of the normal routing, so the first response is "excuse me?" Followed by a bit of delay and explaining while you tell them that you have a god-given right to jump queues as it's an official annual policy for you, they get a bit more confused, 5-10 seconds go by, they have to move their stuff around on the conveyor belt and finally you can dump your security checkpoint-friendly laptop bag on the conveyor in front of them. You then sail by and the whole queue behind you has lost a few seconds of their day that they will never get back.
Great job! ^
