I know this is a small issue, but at EWR, the elite security lines are a major perk. Will the TSA at EWR allow us to use them if I show my elite card?
I think you can do 1 of 3 things:

Reissue your boarding pass @ airport either via (1) automatic machine or (2) at desk and the new boarding pass should have your status; or

(3) I believe you could show the TSA person your Elite card.
