I flew through BWI last month and recall being advised at the NW counter to stay to the right side of the big line along the wall for an elite entrance to the security line. It worked well and there were only 3-4 people waiting in this line. Nasty stares from the big line folks. Has this changed?
I often use BWI for meetings in the northern suburbs of the DC area (Rockville, Silver Spring, Bethesda) and hire a town car because of the HUGE cost difference between flying to BWI and DCA (the Southwest effect).
