Meanwhile, I got an email last week that I now qualified via my RR account, and that I didn't have to do anything special. I thought it was extra funny, since I paid for it a year ago.

Some months ago my wife got a similar email and has yet to get TSA-Pre and she flies more than me.

Call up Rapid Rewards and ask them to nominate you to TSA. Except I'm not sure TSA is still accepting nominations from airlines. Also, the airline can't tell you that it nominated you or that it didn't. Officially it's supposed to be on the airline's initiative.

Perhaps I don't fully understand the "benefit" other than keeping one's shoes on?

My wife and many people here have reported getting emails for Southwest that they were "nominated" by Southwest, so I don't think they need to keep it secret.

Shoes stay on
Light Jacket stays on
Belt stays on (assuming small belt buckle)
Pockets do not have to empty except cell phone
Liquids do not have to come out
Laptops do not come out
You use the metal detector, not x-ray scanner
Lines are quicker (usually)
...but if that is not worth it, please stay in the standby line so it speeds the the process up with less people for the rest of us with Precheck!
There are a few times at small airports that Pre can be just as long...but both those waits are minimal...at major airports...WAY different story!...Every fly outta DEN or LAS at a peak time?

Unless you're checking bags or coming from the west part of Atlanta, the international terminal is highly recommended at most times of the day. I've never seen more than 5 people in line over there in the morning or early afternoon.

tusphotog, when I last tried to enter through TSA at the international terminal they required a ticket to an Int'l flight. Was shortly after it opened.
Have things changed?
