Superguy, a few days ago didn't you say your wife had to wait over an hour at BWI? I can't find any evidence of that on the TSA website!
That was me.
And I've been at BWI when they handed the card to someone in the middle of the line instead of the end, and instructed them to hold on to it and turn it in when they got to the ID checker (note that you can still have a 10 minute wait at Pier C after passing the ID checker).
So, yes, it's subject to manipulation.
