TSA explained that I could go thru the Pre on T South. My question is, as there is always the chance that I am not selected, how are the logistics for getting in the "regular" Medallion line. Obviously you can't cut in...do you have to take the Walk of Shame to the end of another line?
There are three lines at the South checkpoint. The Pre-Check, an elite line to the left of the pre-check (it's in the middle), and a general one to the right. If you aren't in Pre-Check, then you are directed to one of the other two, depending on your status.
