This is ludicrous...the decision as to which lines go where and who uses them is made by the AIRPORT not the TSA. US is PHL's largest tenant - if US puts sufficient pressure on the Airport Manager to maintain the separate security lines, they will do it. If the FSD complains, the airport will likely tell him/her to go chew some fat.

If you want your preferred lines, you need to act in a decisive and swift manner against US and the Airport Manager's office and make it clear how important those lines are, and if they are removed, you may take your business elsewhere.

The airport reacting to that idiotic TV broadcast was just so communistic - come on, give me a break. If you don't like standing in line, get off your cheap, lazy a$$ and fly as much as many of us do and you can get the same benefits.

What's next? Banning airport lounges because they are taking up public airport space for areas restricted to 'members only'? How about asking the government to ban First Class because it's unfair how some people get bigger seats and nicer food? Give me a break!

Sharpen those pens - here are your contacts at PHL -

Charles Isdell, Director of Aviation/Airport General Manager
Mark Gale, Deputy Director of Aviation/Operations and Facilities
