At Logan, DL pulls people to the front of the security line (NB distinction between security line and security lane) whenever the line is somewhat long. This has been going on since September.
There is no question that passengers who travel with any frequency at all "play" this system. Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure; linger near the newsstand; wait for DL to call forward your flight; go directly to the front of the line. I see people gathered there every morning that I transit Logan.
Is this fair: no. Is it a problem: unknown. Few people will miss their flights if the pulling forward is done equitably and consistently. But some people will spend far longer in line than others.

>>> Sorry, that is just not fair and is very selfish of these people. I understand learning the system and working it, we have all done that. I feel bad for those who legitimately wait in line and it is gonna cause some bad feelings when these people(the in-frequent travelers) figure out what is happening.
-FWAAA fyi, as I am back on here to make a comment, was referring to Doppy and La Guardia, not El Paso, but is what I do in the general sense, at whichever aiport. Sad to hear El Paso doesn't believe in skycaps, a needed amenity.
As a note to anyone flying out of LAX, at the Bradley (our Int'l) Terminal, the security lines are unreal at night, going through the terminal and out the door. BA was calling for people still in the line to go back to the BA counter and they would be escorted through the security. I have seen this before, but then saw it again driving by the airport Saturday night.
OUCH!
Something really needs to be done about this as it is not fair to miss a flight and hence a meeting, a wedding, or whatever, due to this sillyness. My .02c.
