This represents a determination by the relevant carriers & PDX that premium security isn't worth operating.
TSA never weighs its opinion? i.e.:"We're cutting down to one lane, so to ensure elites don't rule the line and cause non-elites to have excess wait times, you should do away with the elite lines."
