They're not public services, they're security theater with no real effectiveness. The skip programs are effectively official acknowledgement of that.

I agree they’re theatre, but letting 1st class queue-jump isn’t acknowledgement of that: they’re not skipping the checks themselves, just making the queue longer for everyone else.
