So wheather I'm going to a KCM line to show my KCM card and going on my way, cutting in front of and looking like a jerk to already ****ed off passengers at the x-ray belt, or getting in the back of the line with them should TSA not allow line jumping, it's on Spirits time, and regardless of the previous, I will not do my job any faster or slower. Since KCM is technically not allowed to be used while travelling for personal reasons, it in no way enhances my off time. And lastly, having KCM will in no way effect my pay in any way. So let them try to use it as a bargaining chip, essentially it is really of no monetary or QOL value so therefore we should give up nothing of monetary or QOL value for it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it wouldn't be nice or convenient but so would ships charts or EFBs. However, I doubt we would give anything for either of these. To give up something of any value for something that in the end has no real effect on pay or QOL and is something we do on their time would not be smart.
