I tried to casually walk down the Pre aisle at SFO a couple weeks ago and the TSA agent correctly assessed my ineligibility. I think it gets encoded into your boarding pass.
- cdubzzz 11y agoInterestingly, my wife got Pre and I did not but now whenever she books things for the two of us, I also get Pre. I figured they'd kick me out when they scanned the pass, but it has worked now at six different airports.
- dandandan 11y agoIt's part of the data in the barcode on the boarding pass. If the boarding pass says Pre-check you're good; my GF also gets it consistently when we're on the same PNR but on her own (same booking that gets split or booked individually) she never receives it.
- js2 11y agoI've edited my reply above to clarify. BTW: the security at SFO is not TSA. It's a TSA approved contractor (Covenant Aviation Security). I think Tampa is also that way.
- fancyketchup 11y ago> I think it gets encoded into your boarding pass. It does. Three beeps from the little scanner thingy at the ID check means you have Pre. One beep means you don't.
