When I am going to go through a checkpoint, before I leave my store, I take all metal off, I take only paper money (if I'm going to buy lunch) with me. So if you want everyone to be treated equally..then you shouldn't be carrying anything more than I am through the checkpoint. Which of us has a better chance of slowing a line. If you can't get through faster than I can then I don't think you should complain about us cutting line. Please don't tell me about user fees. Not only are we paying heavy rental fees for our spaces, but also a percentage of our sales for being there. All of our employees have to be fingerprinted and badged to even work there and that is not free. As I said, I travel about 100K a year and I am paying for it, not some company. And no, I don't get any special rates or privlidges either.
