The variance between TSA employees is pretty wide. Some are pretty good about letting you use these pockets, others insist you take it out. I fly TSA Pre-Check

The variance between TSA employees is pretty wide. Some are pretty good about letting you use these pockets, others insist you take it out. I fly TSA Pre-Check and it's surprising how many TSA employees are hazy about the program, even when they have an Pre-Check screening lane (sometimes I've been asked to remove shoes, etc.) IMHO, the TSA is another government program soaking up way too much money for far too little value.
