If not, perhaps we could just start one here. I know they exist at PHL, CLT and PIT but don't know which terminals.
I was just in LAX last week and there definitely was a preferred security line. But, I was checking in for the 11:30 redeye to CLT at about 10:00, so it wasn't open. I guess it's for US preferreds and HP elites because the only other airline in Terminal 1 is WN (no elites).

There are no preferred lines at PHL B or C concourses any longer.
However, the line at B tends to be shorter than C in most cases.

You're kidding...no more preferred line at PHL at ALL?? I discovered (the hard way) that the preferred line was usually open only in the morning, not in the afternoon. Well, crap. This definitely sucks. A preferred security line is on my top 3 list of elite perks.

Additionally, US employees are no longer verifying IDs/boarding passes at the lines anymore; contracted employees in different uniform are.

PHL Priority Lane Update
The Priority Lane at PHL B and C is managed by TSA like everywhere.
Apparently, TSA occassionallys shut down the Priority Lane there
without warning when the lines get so long and they need to get everyone through. You should write a letter of complaint to TSA at PHL b/c US Airways needs your help to keep TSA from doing this. US Airways is lobbying to get the lanes to stay open permamently 24/7.
