The preferred parking is probably a security issue. Since congresspeople are bigger targets than the typical American, it makes sense to put all of their cars into one secure location that can be watched over and that has restricted access. If everyone has access to all of the lots, it's going to cost a LOT more more money to keep an eye on each car.

I'm just pointing out, on a topic that is somewhat unrelated, that before Pearl Harbor they put all the planes together for "safety" and look what happened...

Oh, and my opinion on this, even though I'm not a frequent flyer, (but I enjoy your all's posts, anyway), is that there should be short lines for everyone. A lot of people on this site are top tier members, who fly often on award tickets, why should they get to go through faster, aren't they basically flying for free anyway? The fast-track lines, just aren't fair. So you flew with them for 25,000 miles, most likely on the lowest fares you could find, from what I see in the Miliage Run forum, why do you need to be treated like a king/queen? Those machines for FF are unused a much higher time than the others, so us "regular" people should go to them, so they are in constant use all the time releaving (sp?) pressure on the other machines.

15, but I still have some idea of what I'm talking about; sorta...

Edited due to grammatical errors, and added "stuff" I wanted to say!

Had to add a word too.
