According to a story in the USA Today you may soon get to choose which security line you use at the airport depending on how fast you will get through. Pack lighter and you can choose a faster line.

Salt Lake City International Airport is trying to get travelers through security checkpoints faster.
Travelers are being divided into three groups, depending on the number of carry-on bags, whether they’re with kids and other factors.

The head of the Transportation Security Administration says the idea is to separate large groups or heavy packers from those who can move through the lines quickly. Kip Hawley was at the Salt Lake City airport to announce the program Friday.
