Adelaide premium screening for whole group?

[One post wonder]

I'm flying soon with my family out of Adelaide. I've got gold status so would normally go through the premium screening lane.
What's appropriate when travelling with others who don't have status? Does my status let the group through premium screening, or does having someone in the group without status mean we all go the slow way?

Depends how the infamous staff that run Adelaide security feel today . Ask them what side of the bed they got out of then you will know….

Go through nearly every week and have never been stopped or checked to verify my eligibility to use the Premium line.

How many people in the group?
If 1 or 2 people with you, then I'd say ok. But if you're 'taking the p155' with a large group I'd be really annoyed being delayed.

Especially if they're not ready to go through quickly and delay others.

I travel nowhere as often as you but enough to make P1 this year. I get checked each and every time I go through the premium lane, even the one time in early 2023 I had to go through twice in 25 minutes. Not sure if it’s my gender or race or both.

They were running amok a week or so ago in the premium lane. Just about had to strip MrP because they didn't like that tiny metal catch in his suit pants that holds men's pants up! Then an explosives check, ok that's ok, but then he had to run his hands across that nasty little metal catch and be wanded over again. Luckily I wasn't with him. Not happy Jan.

I reckon they target the premium line to be honest.

In ADL?
Often there is nobody even manning the security line.

Yes. We've never been asked to prove anything. It's the security scanner people that get us.

Yes, in ADL, there’s always either of two big guys who wear dark suits and one always wears a red tie. They stand at the entry where the premium screening sign is. They often stopped me by waving their walkie talkie but lately I’ve just had my card on the app open before I enter the queue.
