The TSA is constantly looking for ways to expedite the security lanes and they are expending a pilot program that started in Salt Lake City to more and more airports. Last week they started this program in terminal C in RDU.
The idea is to divide the travelers to 3 different types of groups to expedite the checkpoint:
1. Families and Special Assistance - This is for families traveling with children or passengers that needs special assistance.
2. Casual Traveler - This lane is for travelers who are somewhat familiar with the procedures and have multiple carry-ons.
3. Expert Traveler - This is for the business travelers that fly almost every week and arrive ready to the checkpoint with all required items removed in advance.
So you are probably saying to yourself that everyone will just go to the "Black Diamond" lane. According to the piloted airports this program works great and the travelers actually go to the right lanes in most cases leading to a faster security checkups and shorter lines.
