But right now that incentive does not exist. Right now the airlines and vendors tolerate the policies and lines because they are not greatly impacted. Once employees are treated like passengers, then the dynamics will change. And of course, the TSA doesn't want to see it changed because of the pressure that would be exerted.
You keep on telling us to write our "Congresscritters" and others, but that has not proven effective in the least. This would. And businesses generally don't give preferential treatment to their employees to the detriment of their customers.
Who is going to force the employees to wait in line? And what vehicle is going to be used to gain compliance with this proposed change in procedure?
There simply is no way that this change will be adopted by anyone. You are absolutely right to believe that businesses would be impacted by the policy. For this reason you can expect that they would lobby very hard to prevent such a change from occuring.
And I really can't believe that anyone with access to policy makers would actually make such a recommendation. It's a pipe dream. It won't happen. There is no way to make it happen.
