It's all about bin space. One bright side, though, AA is letting those that are "randomly" screened cut into the front of the boarding line.

Ok, I guess I am not imagining this. The conversation among the elites who are hiding was towards an attitude of resentment, especially regarding the bin space! When this becomes a learned behavior as I guess it will, then only non-veteran travelers will be snared. The Europeans seemed to trust in their initial screening points, and in some cases, secondary screening points which cleared travelers into the gate area where they could use their boarding priority unmolested.
