Sna
Actually the sign at SNA says First class and then under that it says Premium Security Line, so it doesn't really call out Premium passengers per se. I've used it twice, but the first time I was in First and then just the other day I flashed my 1P card, but they didn't even look at it and waved me through.

DCA has a priority line only for US Shuttle to LGA or BOS. There is no priority line at the UA gates.
No priority at BWI.

1Ps have been able to use LAS elite screening.

...However, after 6:00 PM, priority security for 3P+ closes and all security is moved to the economy area; they install the red carpet and a sign that states "UGS and United First International" from 6:00PM-11:00PM.
Again, this is in the domestic terminal.
The sign does not say 1K or United First/Business, but I haven't tried so I wouldn't know if the TSA agent allows such passengers...

The detour was awesome! Bypassed the (long) security line to a position that was about 5 people from the screening machines. Had to basically cut in line because they were also diverting non-elite traffic to that machine, but, miraculously, no dirty looks.

FLL has one, and even though it's Ted (rar) they have always moved me to that line. (been through FLL 9 times in the past 3 months...rar.
also a note on ATL, sometimes even the priority screening line is long.
there is a regular security line into the UA/AA gates seperate from the normal big security line. This mini security area almost never has a line and is more often that not, quicker that the priority line.

Well, that's what the united.com website says, apparently. But in the second post it does list that pretty much any elite level can use the line... the problem is there's no published guarantee of that.

AVP has a brand-new terminal, and there is no priority security line!

This is fascinating. I've been kicked out of the First Class line at LAS when I was flying to Hawaii on UA first class but with a TED connection from LAS to LAX. I didn't try the 1P card. United's own website doesn't indicate that a 1P can use the First Class line.

IME, at LAS they pretty much let anyone through that shows something shiny.

DFW now has an elite line for 2P and up.
I found out this past weekend. It was kindof funny, but there is a checker and you get to head to the right, and breeze by the 10 people already standing in line for the actual ID/boarding pass check.
I guess they put this in since AA moved to the other end of the terminal.
