Not really, we are all going through TSA at one point or another, the AIRLINES who are resphonsible for managing those lines and choosing who goes to where for screening.
TSA Says "We have to screen all people, you control the lines"
Airlines say "Okay, but we are going to have a different line for FC pax"
TSA says "Okay just as long as we screen all people"
