What's interesting is, flying out of SFO a few weeks ago, I was directed into a line with no body scanners and only a metal detector. I was also instructed to keep my laptop in my bag and my shoes on.
But there was a K9 unit tensa-barrier-ed off that everyone had to walk past.
- orblivion 11y agoI think this is them giving you a free sample of what you get if you pre-register with them.
- asciimo 11y agoI had a civil and humane US airport experience a couple years ago and I asked about it. The TSA agent said it was because of the K9s sniffing around.
- fancyketchup 11y agoYou were part of "managed inclusion" in TSA Pre(check).
- warfangle 11y agomanaged inclusion ended at the beginning of september.
- fancyketchup 11y agoManaged inclusion v2 was ended in September. That's when managed inclusion v3 began[1].

- warfangle 11y agoaha. Either way, I vastly prefer this to everything else :) Maybe I'll have to sign up for pre ... I only fly four or five times a year, but it seems worth it.

- ryan-c 11y agoThat was probably the precheck lane. They send randos through it every once in a while. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a sales pitch or if controlling the lines plays into it. I have precheck and have never seen a dog there, but I've randomly gotten swabbed for explosives a few times.
- mentat 11y agoThey're doing that for everything at IAD right now as well. Seems to be a new procedure they're testing.
