Thats all well and good and I often use the regular line as well if it appears shorter but there are times that the lines are so ridiculous at EWR especially C2. Seeing as Terminal C is all CO and its one of CO's major hubs I dont see any reason to ever not have an EA lane at all three checkpoints.
