Depending on the situation, it is ironically faster via security. You are taken to the front of the line while they inspect your unmentionables. If the lineup is sizable, you sometimes end up ahead
That is definitely not always the case. I had SSSS once in YVR, and I was not taken to the front of the line. I lined up with everyone else, and then they did the extra screening once I was at the front.
