When I asked the question it was going thru premium securing at T4 LAX.
You would think that TSA Pre-Check would be automatically done for Global Entry members since we've been background checked by CBP, but doesn't appear to be the case. My understanding is that the Global Entry number is for reference only and that TSA still does their own back ground check.
I also do most of my flying from ONT so it's, relatively speaking, a non-issue since security is < 5 minutes typically.

According to the TSA guard I talked with, the two departments don't seem to have much interaction. So much for the streamlined intelligence gathering across organizations that the DHS was supposed to resolve.
