Why do we allow priority security lanes at airports?

If you have flown in recent years, you may have noted expedited treatment via special lines for first class and business patrons during the security process.

Of course there is nothing the matter with  business and first class passengers receiving special benefits from the airlines.  They are paying for it and it is a private business arrangement.

But why should they receive  preferential treatment from an agency of the United States government? 

Passengers should be treated alike in going through security.  It will remind rich, middle class and poor that we still have some semblance of  a democracy.
