I’m at Salzburg now can can confirm witnessing the fast track security scanner at Salzburg rejecting BA gold members flashing the gold coloured boarding passes on their phones. I’m in the normal queue and seeing a few of them in a huff complaining at staff who say BA members don’t get fast track unless in business class. Some BA Gold members then sneakily push in at the front of the normal queue (which is about 20-30 min long this morning)

There definitely is a fast track at TFS, however, we had an odd experience there a couple of weeks ago.

CE paper boarding pass was endorsed with 'FASTTRACK'. Showed this to the person staffing the line who initially tried to send us to the normal queue, then when we pointed out 'FASTTRACK' on the boarding pass agreed we could use it. But when she scanned them it came up red so we got sent to the normal queue anyway. No big drama, it was fairly quick in any case, but I'm still none the wiser about whether we should have been allowed through the FT or not.

Off-topic, but TFS security was a strange experience. The OH and I ended up in different lanes, the officer scanning on my lane couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The officer scanning on the OH's lane seemed to be taking great delight in being as obstructive as possible. She was looking for the tiniest excuse to send people to the back of the queue to try again. I've never seen someone openly take so much obvious pleasure in making other people's lives difficult, and I've been through plenty of TSA lines in my time.
