I think it has more to do with people (naively) thinking that ADP/AF got their act together and would ensure a faster progress through the Acces No. 1 lane. Until they learn that even here their status isn't worth that much.
Best one was international arrivals the other day: separation between Access No. 1 lane and "normal" lane for EU/EEA citizens, one lane for "normal" non-EU. Access No. 1 lane moved very slowly. Reason: the ADP line managers had the grandiose idea to merge the "normal" EU and the Acces No. 1 lane and to have people see the same agent. It would have been smarter to merge the two "normal" lanes. Did I say that "Pragmatism" would be needed badly?
