I was making a clear and entirely justified point. TSA gets to choose how to handle people who present themselves for screening. The airport gets to choose how people get to screening. The airport is entirely free to decide how people get up to the TSA checkpoint. The airport is entirely free to accommodate its customers (the airlines). Unless you think that TSA should be able to regulate how the airlines handle checkin, how the airport handles parking, etc. etc. etc.
