They do, just like over there. The airlines pay to have those lines in place.

This is how I look at it:
The TSA doesn't/shouldn't care "who is being screened when", just that ALL are screened before boarding. The airports and airlines should/do dictate the "layout" and who gets to be screened first.

When in airports or aircraft, you are in private establishments that have their own policies. They can create and enforce those policies as they please, as long as all of the regulations/laws are observed.

As far as airport/airline security as a whole, IMO (simplified):
The bottom line is that the chances of another successful airline hijacking on US soil is extremely slim. If the newly-educated (post 9/11) passengers didn't get to the hijackers first, the newly-armed pilots would blast `em. The bad guys know this, and have focused on other "ideas" I'm sure. DHS needs to shift their effort$ elsewhere, like the borders for instance.
