Well I think we all know that's not going to happen. Whenever you throw people into pre-check who have no idea how it works, or don't even know how to pack properly, this is what you get. At least put the "randoms" into one line and the "real" pre-checkers in another. To top it off, people were coming off the BP checker and just joining in, thereby cutting in line. Not sure how or why they thought that was acceptable. Just a total Mongolian cluster dance.

This was last year when I was in a pre-check line at DEN. There was a family in front of me that was: removing shoes, belts, computers, etc. I asked the TSA clerk near the machine why he didn't explain to people they didn't have to do all this and he said, "that's not my job." Thanks for nothing.

The simple solution is to use the same procedures in every lane. Flyers will figure that out quickly enough.

I went through MCO last year and more than half of the people were getting funneled into the Pre Check line. They had one TSA worker calmly explaining not to remove shoes, keep liquids in bags, etc. Everybody seemed to be following the instructions and everything went smoothly. I don't know if it worked because people were already broken by Disney, but somehow it worked.
Best screening experience I've had in five years.
