As I said "by strict standards". I wouldn't really consider it impolite either if the request were warranted and granted. The golf comparison is acceptable except that when you are playing golf you are a) doing that for leisure, b) there is an established set of strict rules that explicitly allows this, c) you are part of a group that is much more homogenous than those standing in line at the checkpoint.
