He took me to the front of the queue, put my BP into the BP reader, returned the BP to me, and showed me the door to the jet bridge.

It never happened to me before. I wonder whether this is something new CX is doing for DMs and F (and perhaps other) passengers on flights requiring passport check (and secondary security check). This was a nice touch, although I did not mind waiting in such a short line.

Is anyone aware of this new perk?
