GG CHECKPOINT LINE 53

Therefore, yes, you can still get airside by using your PC membership.
That actually depends. At IAH Terminal C, TSA will SOMETIMES let you through with only the card and your photo ID. Also, SOMTIMES, the Red Coat will NOT issue a gate pass and tell you to go directly to the security line.

In Terminal E you ALWAYS need a gate pass.

I practice it is always best to get one, if the agent tries to send you through, tell them you already tried and the TSA wanted paper.

FWIW
