Interesting. I note that there have been no complaints on @AskTSA about long PreCheck lines for several days; the last complaint is dated February 9th. I find that very suspect. Is AskTSA concealing anything? (There have been complaints posted on @TSA but those are never answered.)
Further, if @AskTSA search results are accurate the last time they responded to anyone with:
was back in December.

Last time I looked (a couple weeks ago), Amy Van Dyken (the paralyzed Olympic swimmer) got another rough grope. It wasn't DEN this time, but it appears that the 'academy' training is still teaching people to jab pax in the privates with stiff fingers if they're paralyzed and in a wheelchair, and apparently the ever-vigilant STSOs and LTSOs are making sure it happens.
The most complaints are coming from women traveling with formula or breastmilk.

In short, Ask TSA is virtually useless, although, like the blog, the taxpayers will continue to pay fat government wages for something that is pointless at best, insulting at worst. It's clear that the majority of the folks tweeting Ask TSA are sincere and want help - and they're not getting it.

Appears that @AskTSA either has not got the message that TSA is "significantly reducing" the # of non-pre passengers in pre line or, as with so much else TSA, AskTSA doesn't have the ability to change its message:
"As we work to achieve that goal, we’ll continue to reduce the # of travelers receiving TSA Pre✓® who aren’t enrolled"
This has been the standard response to complaints about long pre lines for a couple of years now.

We both have Pre Check for our return trip tomorrow. That's 2 for 2 this trip.

They still seem to be giving people travelling with you pre check.
Both me and our partner have nexus but our friend on the same booking didn't and got it pre check anyway.

TSA Pre- When will it disappear for those who have not registered?
I have been registered for TSA Pre since it started. I paid my fee, had my interview etc.
I heard that they will stop allowing those who have not registered from going through TSA Pre but it has not happened.
I ask the TSA personnel at the airport about it but no one seems to know.
Does anyone have any insight into this situation?

On Twitter last week, I was told by TSA that the TSA is "working on this". I had complained via Twitter in response to one of the usual TSA advertisements that the wait times in PreCheck have increased due to a) the new patdowns and b) the non-registered people using the line. TSA argued that overall, it's still faster. I disagree. Right now, it's about 50-50 when you throw in the slowdowns thanks to the new patdowns and extensive bag checks and the inexperienced/non-registered travelers in the PreCheck line.
