I have found MCO and TPA's TSA security at the checkpoint to ignore/show indifference to the frequent traveler. There are no official "express lanes" for frequent fliers or any obvious accommodations.
Apparently, because this is a "family" destination the airport clubs are not operated by NWA, CO, or DL in very many Florida airports.

DL has clubs in 5 of their cities in FL, more than any other carrier. Also, many consider the MCO CRC to be one of if not the best in the system.
Regarding MCO security, I flew out of Orlando around 60 times last year, and my wait time was under 2 minutes everytime with the expcetion of the Monday after the 4th of July, and then it was 20 minutes. No, they do not recognize elites, but as I say, security is rarely a problem. One little trick: there are 4 terminals (satelites) to MCO, and there are 4 separate trams to get to each. There are separate security lines for each, but if the one for your gate number is full, try the one next two it (either the left or the right). The signs overhead will say a different gate group, but you can still access the correct tram after security. Often times, when the DL line has a little depth to it, I drop over to the Southwest line, directly to the left... and go straight through.
