I love it when people talk about things they don't have personal knowledge of.

You are right about coach/FC. No FC unless the flight is over 14 hours, unless you use your own status/miles to get an upgrade.
In fact I have quite a bit of personal knowledge about this, having flown with many senators, representatives, and executive branch officials in the past 10 years. With the exception of when with a cabinet-level person (who I already said is a different case) they don't bypass airport security.

Agreed. The only ones I have seen that get to bypass security are those who are travelling with armed escorts.

Another example of the why the TSA needs to have oversight and be accountable. The actions in this article by the TSA personnel disgusts me.
And the lady who wrote in is advising exactly what happened? Methinks she dreams too much. Her language is definitely trying to be evocative.
