Perhaps the former might be more relevant here? The fact that some terminals in the US offer an easier passage through the formalities for eligible passengers, indicates that this is not a red flag for the TSA, or we would not see it at all countrywide. Therefore, it would appear that the issue is perhaps one between the airlines and the airport operators, with the thorny issue of investment and who will provide that investment, being stuck somewhere in the middle.
That's quite a conclusion to jump to. Yes, airlines and airports are two separate entities. But JFK and LAX are separate entities, too. LAX isn't any more likely to be flexible just because JFK is. Unless you are the station manager for DL at LAX, you have no idea what obstacles - financial or otherwise - DL may face in getting fast track there. Vloggers aren't in such a position to know, either, which is why I took exception.
