I am an infrequent traveler but part of my pre-travel routine is checking the guidelines the day before, and making sure I'm following them, because I abhor being That Person. And even following the guidelines to a T, I always get selected for the extra scan, because I am constantly cold, and wear sweatshirts - not even jackets with metal zippers, just sweatshirts. Apparently armpit heat is suspicious. And the last time that happened, the scanner decided it was so suspicious that I warranted an additional pat-down, and had to wait a quarter hour before a female TSA agent finally showed up. My traveling buddy went through the basic line and came out way ahead of me.
- wenc 3y agoI think what may have slowed you down is the female TSA agent, not Precheck in general. That’s unfortunate. Also business traveler tip for future: all heavy and light tops (light jackets, suit jacket, winter coats, sweatshirts, hoodies, etc) go into the bin. Pockets empty, no wallet, watches, phones, etc. — put them in your jacket or hoodie. Basically walk through that metal detector with only your basic layers and you will be through in 15 seconds.
