No that's code "brown". Heck it would probably be a code yellow event as well for the mcdonalds reject association. Code 2 is a priority responce that may have sirens but with lights running. Though that is dependent on the district.

This was at the Elite Security line behind the FC/1K Counter. They both looked like they were traveling as each had a bag so one wasn't escorting the other.

not sure what you mean by convenient....is it that the exit is located right next to the entrance? haven't had the pleasure of t1 at ord hence my question but since more pax enter vs exit (in terms of lines backing up not numbers/volume) surely what was observed could be moved to the exit (or maybe not as like i said, i haven't had the pleasure of ord, t1) just my two hockey pucks 
Checkpoint 1: No exit lane
Checkpoint 2: No exit lane
Checkpoint 3: Exit lane. This checkpoint is at the far end of T1 and heads to T2. It is not convenient to use if you have to go to the C concourse or to the high B gates-- it would be very far out of the way for that.

as i'm sure that at some point, some kettle is gonna shriek "he didn't go thru screening" and then everyone will look at the "person who's special". just my two hockey pucks

So much for it being a sterile area... I was under the impression that FAMs entered the "sterile area" using other methods. It would probably be pretty noticeable for a FAM like person to be spotted if they had a TSO opening the gate every time they were at a checkpoint...
