Serious question for those who balk at FAs who hold up the line going through their bags for ID, etc. Why don't you just say, "excuse me" and go in front of them? I've never used KCM but have either gone in front of others after excusing myself OR told others to go ahead of me if I was the slow one on regular TSA or crew lines.
Suggest you drop the term "aisle donkey" as you pass for maximum effect...

Seriously?! EVERY FA you know/work with/come in contact with at the KCM line would "create a firestorm" over that?

The ones that don't have their stuff ready and spend 10 minutes digging for their ID and license/passport would.

When passing someone in line, "Excuse me" would be courteous, however "Beep, Beep, ya big turtle" would be toolish.

Obviously not EVERY FA is going to do that and "firestorm" is probably too strong a word but I wouldn't be surprised if one got a LOT of dirty looks and a some with a few comments like "prima donna" or something like that.

Bottom line is I don't let it bother me, the jet ain't goin' nowhere with out me....

Hey Denny...you seem mature and a voice of reason. Do pilots mind standing behind a young, nubile FA with a nice butt and great legs who's fishing through her bag OR just the cat ranchers? Inquiring minds want to know!

Doesn't make them a tool. I for one appreciate that kind of diversity and varying opinions, plus they may learn something they didn't know before.
