I am hoping someone might have some insight re the changes at PDX regarding the security line for elite and first class passengers. TSA people no longer check to see if a person is eligible to use this lane. This of change was made at the request of the airlines. While technically the lane is still
for first class and status flyers, the tsa's announce that the lane is only for first class, and "frequent flyers". The elite lane is now pretty much the same as the other lanes. Really annoying! TSA's said to write to the airlines, but I
am wondering what reasons the airlines would have for making such a change? Anyone have any insight into this?
