I don't think this makes sense, unless in your airport the PreCheck line is sometimes empty and the staff there are waiting around. Otherwise, they can allocate fewer staff than in every other line yet process more travelers due to the faster process. This speeds up security for everyone, not just those with PreCheck, as without PreCheck all of the travelers would have had to go through the longer process which would delay security for everyone behind them.

- cvwright 11y agoThat's the most frustrating part for me. Sending people through pre-check looked like a nice way for the TSA to save face, and minimize the hassle for the rest of us, without having to admit that most of their scanning procedures are a farce. Now it's gone because they miss 95% of weapons that the auditors bring through. 95 percent! That means that, in the normal line, they're usually missing stuff. So what do they gain from stopping the free pre-check? Only saving face. Argh.
