So with all the passengers and bags you have screened, have you ever found anything beyond knitting needles and fingernail clippers?

Is selectee status all about making sure we are not racist and that we select all people equally, regardless of risk? People that fly 3 days per week are people who keep the airlines in business; cut them some slack. All travellers are not equal. What happens when people entitled to use the elite security lines are diverted to the longer (ok; maybe not longer in people but longer in wait times) selectee lines?

"You should come to the airport 2 hours before departure; if you miss your flight, tough."

This is unresonable for frequent travellers; if they stop travlling the airlines lose a lot of revenue.

With the electronic check in kiosks and simply a carry-on bag, I am immediately at the TSA lanes; with an elite lane it usually takes no more than 5 minutes and I am in the concourse and at the gate a few minutes later; should I then kill an hour and a half before the plane boards?
