Everyone uses it whether they are elite or not.
My advice is just pick the line that's shorter (more often than not, it's not the elite line).

once even when the elite line was WAY shorter the TDC lady REFUSED to take anyone from elite line and for a full 8 min only took non elite line. grr, totally defeats the purpose, and I wonder how widespread such is.

Elite lines in general have far less than 100% compliance or policing, at least on UA (I'm a UA 1K). Hoping that the merger with CO improves that.

I find that Dulles does a decent job, although in 2007 I used my United Premier card to access the elite security line with an Aeroflot boarding pass.

EWR security is trying at the best of time. Don't think there is much hope of it improving. The only thing worse than terminal C security at EWR is, terminal A security at EWR.
