Last time one of these threads came up, someone mentioned using the privileged security lines even without a first class ticket or whatever frequent-flyer status you need. I just flew out of Chicago and skipped a pretty decent sized line without any fuss from anyone.

Yeah those lines operate via the honor code. No one is actually going to stop you. That said I consider line jumping to be cheating, not a "life hack".

I've seen tickets checked in Melbourne (Australia) in the Qantas terminal.

Hrm. I don't think you have any information about how those things operate, no offense.. just an observation.

I highly doubt it would work 100% of the time; further, both lines are being manned by federal employees.

Do this enough, and then there's going to be a line to get into the security line.

What do you tell them when they ask you why you are in this line?

Act like you're meant to be there.
