Yesterday flying home from PHF, the gate agent (all 1 of her) tried to use the Breezeway for a flight in which 16 of us were on. It took so much longer with her shuffling between the lines and scanners. i got a few nasty looks as I finished my sandwich got in the Breezeway and bypassed all the non-medallion flyers.
On an unrelated note I sat next to my first air marshal, or at least that I know of. I felt strangely safer.
