Priority Pass express security lines?
If I understand correctly what I have seen on Twitter recently, Priority Pass gives some sort of priority at security at some airports. But there is nothing on their website about this new benefit.
So, FTers, can you fill in the details for me please?

I know that Mrs. Redtop gets her Priority Pass via her Amex Plat card, and the Amex Plat card also gets her into the express security lane at YYZ. But I don't personally know of a connection between PP and security. Could be the case in some airports.

Thread moved to TravelBuzz! forum. Even though many obtain their Priority Pass membership membership through a credit card, discussion of the features is primarily hosted in TravelBuzz!.
I would also look here because the reference may be to some other program with the overused term priority in the name:

DL uses the term SkyPriority for elite and premium cabin ground handling; it's being expanded to SkyTeam.

I now have a little more information. London Stansted (STN) is (so far) the only place that offers this facility. Here are the notes on the Stansted No 1 Lounge:
Cardholders wishing to use the lounge can also use the Fast Track channel through security by presenting their membership card. Complimentary Fast-Track facility only available to cardholders using the lounge on the same date. Follow signs for 'Premium Departures' after check-in, found on the left-hand side of the security lanes.
Is this the shape of things to come? If it is, then Priority Pass suddenly becomes better than before, especially for humble Y passengers.

Verona Airport offers it to! I saw the prioritypass logo in their sign pointing towards the express security. Also at BGY you can bypass the line.
