Just experienced something similar at GNV. Only one line with one WTMD for everyone. After the ID checker gets the three beeps, he highlights the BP. Then you show the BP to the guy manning the WTMD. Liquids still come out there. Shoes and belts stay on if they don't alarm.

Pre-check lite w/a twist this morning @ TOL-anyone getting the 3 beeps is offered a choice, by the screeners, of the NoS or WTMD. 2 pax in front of me chose the NoS, & ended up w/partial gropes. I zipped thru the WTMD ^

Went through security at CHS A gates on Friday and encountered a variant of "Pre Check Lite" for the first time: common line with non-PreCheck to the ID checker, who put a checkmark in highlighter on my boarding pass. Didn't have to remove shoes or belt (and forgot to take out my wallet) but I still had to remove my laptop sleeve from my backpack. No nudeoscopes in sight, just WTMD for everyone, so it really didn't save much hassle over not having Pre Check.
TSA really needs a consistent approach here...

Both times I've flown out of there the Pre-Check lane was closed. However, upon seeing me as a Pre-Check flyer the guy checking IDs issued me a neon pink card. This allowed me all of the usual pre-check benefits while going through the standard line.

Just went thru TOL-still pre-check lite 
Bin pusher insisted my hand lotion, already in a Kip Kwart, go in a dog food bowl by itself vs. sitting in the bin beside the laptop. 
The mind simply boggles at what could be done w/the $8 billion/yr we give these people.

We were at MDT over the weekend which is listed as full precheck, but got what some are calling precheck lite. Just one line was open and we got one of those plastic cards, had to take our liquids out, but could I keep our shoes and belt on.
They did tell me that at busy hours, they set up a full precheck line there.

I usually depart about noon with US or UA and they always tell me that's open in the morning and that I'm the only right now...
