I once jumped the long x-ray queues because I saw a sign that said
priority lane, by invitation only so I said to the nice lady "Can I
have an invite" and she said yes and sent me through the empty fast
lane.

For getting on to the plane, I agree, just say sat down till the queue
has gone, your seat will still be there and the flight won't leave
without you.
