While I hate the TSA pawing my identification, it has not slowed me getting through the line any faster, as after the ID line there is ALWAYS a pileup of people waiting to get through the xray/WTMD.
What has slowed the entire process is:
1. the removal of shoes
2. The removal of every man's belt (plus some ladies belts, jewelry, too), then remembering to remove coins, cell phone, wallet, etc from the pockets of shirt, pants
3 Everyone taking off their coat (remember when they told us to carry them through the WTMD?)
4. Removal of laptop from case
5. Finding enough bins to put all of the above into on the belt
6. Divesting stroller of all junk, taking kid out of stroller, and placing it (not kid, the other stuff) onto belt.
7. Waiting for the 2-3 other people to go through the WTMD in individual monitored manner with arms at sides.
8. Recovery of hearing from being screamed at by 2-3 TSA agents.
And finally replacement of all that stuff where it came from on the other side of the xray.
