Looks like it's now a user-generated QR code from Amex for priority access - got the email this am. Not sure if this will result in more people in the priority security line ? I usually use the priority security and then go through to Nexus... but it could theoretically increase the number of people using the priority security line.

Flew out from YYZ on the 17th morning on domestic. It was crazy at security. The lines had gone all the way back to the wall and then had two loops back to the walkway in the middle.

Just went through in T1. I was in the NEXUS line but the normal (not priority) looked like a bit of a mess and quite stretched (around 11:30am EST). I don't understand the point behind searching/testing NEXUS member laptops/equipment yet YYZ security just dumps 'priority' passengers into the supposed NEXUS line which skips the inspector...

Yes it is a e gate and initially I was in the queue and there was a person scanning the boarding cards and when I saw the * G , I asked him if I could go there he said no. Stay here.

Ahh, maybe if he already scanned it it screws something up. But if it was before scanning I wouldnt have even asked just leave the line and go to the priority gate. I assume priority security was written on your boarding pass too. Worst that could happen if your *G wasnt properly linked is the e-gate would say no and then youre back where you stated.
