You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

It's less work for everyone involved, because they have to pick up their things fewer times.

The length of the line is determined by how many people are in it, not how close they are standing to each other. Being up in the business of the person in front of you doesn't make anything go faster.

Also it would be beneficial to a person joining this line, because it has less people in it compared to other wines of the same apparent length.

So the only people who are actually negatively affected are the ones who join other lines. And the neurotic who get irrationally angry at seeing the gap.

Personally I would rather pick my heavy stuff up for shorter stretches, especially if there's more than I can carry at once. Can you imagine the chaos of her moving forward 20 feet and each person behind her having to carry two bags forward 20 feet and then run back for their other bag/pet carrier/baby car seat? Especially if they don't wait for each other? Or someone tries to help but now the helpee can't say they're the only one who's handled that bag? Dragging everything 3 feet at a time is hugely preferable.

That ONLY assumes that everyone is perfectly aware enough to not cause the line to extend out of the allotted area, AND nobody misses the fact that the front of the line moved far enough that they never cause a pause at the front. Assuming everyone has the ability to do this means that there shouldn't have been a line in the first place. (and nobody has their face in their phone, like the person in the picture)

The line staying in the allotted area doesn't make TSA work any faster. But you'll get no argument from me that the people near the front of the line need to be paying attention.
