I thought I would throw my 2 cents in .....

I worked for Delta and ASA for a total of 9 years.....

There was a policy that was put out about a year ago that stated off duty employees flying non rev should NOT have their badges visible. I know DH would introduce himself to the crew flying to thank them for the ride and to let them know they had an able body in the back if anything happened. Other than that our IDs were in our pockets or bags.

As for security lines. ATL has a line specifically for Airport and Airline employees..... on or off duty. Each airport is required to have a certain standard set out by the FAA and then individually they have the option of going above and beyond that. Also, (an ATL thing) every employee boarding an aircraft off duty (in our out of uniform) is required to go through security and have all bags screened. There were several memos put out that if you were caught you would be fined and your badge was to be removed. If you were deadheading per the company you were exempt.....
