I have a question and am hoping that this group can help.

Last week I flew SLC to LAS, I am GM and was upgraded on both flights to FC. On both flights I was informed when I reached the security check point after having my Boarding Pass scanned that I was 'TSA Pre' and could go through that security line,. I am not complaining, since it definitely sped up my security process and eliminated the hassle of 'de shoeing', taking out my laptop etc. This happened on both trips.

I did not apply for TSA Pre, just wondering if anyone has any insight as to how this might have occurred. Was it my FC upgrade? Status (only GM so I doubt it). Will this be the case on all my flights @ airports that have TSA Pre? Does Janet Naplitano have my number (yikes!). Flying SLC to DEN midweek-would be nice to know.

Thanks in advance-have a great day!
