You hate them. So do I. An employee on vacation should never break line...period!! I use a 5 person rule. Under five people, I wait. Over five and I kindly excuse myself and proceed. Most people are very kind and I usually end up chatting with that person. I have a knack for choosing the slow line. My only exceptions are families and the elderly, both who usually require more time and I can be on the ac brewing coffee before they get thru security.

The best managed TSA security airports have seperate lanes for employees. That's the way it should be. I know I would get a tiny bit stressed had I been waiting 30 minutes and right as I was putting my bags on the table, a crew of 6 break in. The good thing? We are use to it and usually get thru quickly.
