Some poor folks saw people who just arrived at line jumped ahead of them. Needless to say there were not a lot of happy campers.
The T6 Premier lines are such a joke, when I came through Tuesday morning last they had 2 TSA agents serving 4 lines. One serving the non-status line and 1 serving the other 3, the Premier, 1K and GS line. Needless to say the non-status line went about 3 times as fast as the 1K line.
