I'm FO and so far have had really good luck this year with getting upgrades and getting them b4 check in instead of at the gate, but I tend to fly the non business time flights so I'm sure that helps (hopefully I'm not jinixing myself). Since I've got the upgrades at check in I've been lucky enough to take advantage of the priority security line.

So my question is...*puts on coat*

Do the security people really look for elite plus on your ticket? Do any of you non elite plus folks that haven't been upgraded use the priority security line and get away with it?

Thanks in advanced, hopefully I dont get flogged by you high mileage warriors to bad.
