That's why I think they should get in the line with the rest of us rather than cut. Frankly, I think there are good arguments for them to just show their airport ID to the TSA person at the security exit and go through the exit rather than the entrance.

What ticks me off is when people think their time is more valuable than mine - which is the message sent by cutting in line.
The problem with that idea is that we would be interrupting those TSA people sitting back there chatting..because they would then have to be watching two directions and still trying to chat. Don't you think this might put some of those TSA people into over load? Besides you would have others who might see this and they would try doing it to skip the lines.
