First class passengers undergo the same screening as all travelers, only with less wait. Time is money. If one is willing to pay for a service that provides a shorter time investment, more legroom and a better meal how is that "unfair"? If I choose to allocate more of my income to the butcher, I will get a better cut of meat. What would be unfair is if one paid $200 more for a ticket and received the same seat and service. I've never flown first class in my life, preferring to allocate my money elsewhere. But I'd never whine because other people chose to purchase that upgrade. Again, time is money.
