We just started our "selectee" lanes @ RDU.
Of course, with anything new / different, there's bound to be kinks. @ Term. A, you show your BP to a Globe person, just before going upstairs to the CP. @ the top of the stairs, you show it to another Globe person, who directs you to the lane. After going thru the "torture" of being screened, you show it again as you exit the CP.
Now, if you have the dreaded SSSSSS, you are escorted to the elevator, and whisked away to the CP, @ which point, you show your BP again. You're directed to the "selectee" lane, for your "inhumane" treatment. After your "humiliation", you show your BP to the lane lead, who then punches a hole in it, signifying that you've been properly "harrassed". You then show it to the Globe person @ the exit of the CP.
More times than not, selectees travel thru the CP MUCH faster than the non-selectee, because we are so understaffed, we can only man 2 other lanes. Of course this raises the ire of all those "nons" watching the selectees breeze by.
I have many opinions on how to improve the procedures, but I'm just a "lower than pond scum" screener, and it would just be a waste of breath.
But it sure beats the hell out of gate screening........right Spiff / CG ???
