you ask once and if they refuse you bypass them.

if they stop you, apologize then wait for them to get distracted again and go.

it won't take them long to keep up with the line, I guarantee it.

But shes still right. Assuming that everyone is still in the queue area and not overflowing into the general concourses, it does not matter when she moves. The forward progress is an illusion if youre still queued after you move.

I think it’s just people want the illusion of the line moving so they can feel safe of reaching the end of the line, cause at the airport you want to the quickest way to your gate.

She could cause folks to ito be in the queue lanes, and be left in the "open walking space" of the terminal, thus materially decreasing the usage of folks not trying to join that line.

She's out of line, but she's right.

Well, she obviously doesn't carry a trebuchet in her backpack, or 50 pounds of Columbian coke up her ass, like I do on every flight.

I'd just cut in front of her since she was so nice to leave a gap. The lesson will be learned one way or another.

If you're not moving with the line, I infer you are not in line. I would have no qualms going right around her.
