Then this will be a call to arms for the airline and airport industries to put their foot down and stop allowing the TSA to bully everyone. If the TSA refuses to maintain the lines according to airport and airline rules, the airports and airlines need to escalate the issue, loudly and clearly, to the TSA's Congressional handlers.
I am sure the airport managers can find ways to punish local TSA staff and make their lives more difficult and unpleasant if push comes to shove.
