While I think an elite or first/business line could be good, I might prefer an express line for those with either no carryons or no electronics that seem to be bogging things down.

Edited to add ... the more I think about it, I think an express line might be better. When I read the threads about the waits at the airports, everyone seems to say they've found no line at the elite counters even though there might only be one person staffing that line. That coupled with the fact that many businesses are prohibiting their employees from travel right now makes me think it's the non-elite, leisure traveler who is helping the airlines out right now by flying. It seems it might be wise to make their traveling easier if they're the ones airlines might be depending on now.
