If the Übermenschen lanes were filled to capacity, they would make everybody safer, because people get through them faster. The TSA is not actually going to cut back on managed inclusion, because the occasional passenger is not going to go through the expense and aggravation of providing the information and showing up for the interview. I'm disappointed that there are so many passengers who think they should have access to a vast overallocation of government resources, but the Untermenschen are going to continue to "clog" the lanes just like always.
But like I was saying, the Übermenschen lanes do help reduce the only threat that exists - the threat that a couple people will roll up with AKs and spray the line. By providing a faster experience less subject to the slovenly incompetence of the clerks in the typical lane, passengers will disperse through the terminal faster.
