KCM has been down a couple of time in SEA. The recheck line then tends to get a bit longer......

Ever heard of professional courtesy?

It's the TSA , I don't care for them either, but they're not going away. Try to work with the system, makes it easier on everybody.... Pay your dues...$100 American, won't kill you.

Not saying it's "the TSA", just saying there are some agents who take it a little too far.

We're not supposed to be cutting this line. Get to the airport a few minutes earlier and stand in line. It's never long. Or else cut the other lines. This is a non issue and the TSA aren't being tools, you are though.

Maybe it's just a matter of perspective, and the apparent "obviousness of tool(ish)-ness"

isn't noticed by the crew, but COME ON!!

You're spot on sir. I'll only cut if the line is long and warrants it. This is a symptom of the far larger disease which is killing manners and common sense. Not sure what causes it. Perhaps too much tv and fast food.

I disagree. We(working crews) should not have to stand in any line except KCM. KCM should be at every airport. Until then, I will cut(I'm always polite) and no way in Hell am I going to get to the airport any earlier. If that makes me a "TOOL" gearjerk, so be it.

He's right here. The whole security façade is one of the things that just ****es me off to no end.

Respectively, NERD. You consider one or two people, "a line?" Much less, a line requiring you the need to cut in front of? Just asking. "Tool award" for it might be slightly exaggeratory, but I think cutting in front of only a couple people, or one family (two adults & son) does show some reduced situational awareness. JMHO.
