Impact from TSA doing ID Checks?

I saw on other threads in this forum, that Bart (and maybe others) mentioned that TSA is going to take over responsibility for ID Checking at most (all?) US airports.

Will this have an impact on elite lines at those airports?

The only reason most airports were able to implement the elite lines was because that area (pre-screening) was under airport/airline control. If TSA is taking that over, will we start seeing pushback on the premium security lines, as that would require a special TSA staffer to be on the line to check the ids for those passengers?

I see even more pain on its way to the flying public, especially elite fliers.
