I screwed up.

Yes, I have clear. Works well for long lines, but still have to the whole remove the shoes, jacket, laptop, etc thing. And all the non-travelers in those lines.

I travel significantly, but not enough that I have bothered with pre-shit...

welcome to normal- it's not THAT bad, I have gotten thru Denver airport in <20min, and COS in <5min... DFW in <20min if I plan ahead (not booking prime-time flights,etc)

Come to think of it, this is more of a PSA for those that don't travel all the time...

We signed the whole family up for the Global Entry program, so we're in TSA Pre. I had been "randomly selected" for extra screening maybe twice in the decade before when going through the regular lines. I've been selected on both legs of my last trip and once on another trip before that since signing up. WTF? Wasn't that partially what the added hoops to jump through were for to get cleared for Pre?

Glad the whole thing seems to have worked out about as good as could be expected, OP.

got pulled out of the orlando Pre Check line for "random" shaking down on Monday. at least the idiots at frontier have decided to join Pre Check.

you must travel about once every five years, because frankly, that's about the threshold for pre-check to be worth it. and, so what if you have gotten through Denver in less than 20 minutes. How about Atlanta, Minneapolis, Phoenix, O'Hare, LAX, SFO, National...
