Sure, but it's also for speed and convenience. The president is a busy guy, and so is the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corp. These companies are in trouble; if I was an employee or a stockholder, I'd want the CEO working on the problems, not standing on line two hours beforehand getting asked if anyone else packed his suitcase (and probably someone did, at least his wife...and then he would have been late to the congressional grilling because he was getting cavity-searched by the TSA).
