So I finally got to MCO and when I landed I did the security check and iris scan and all that. Took 5 minutes as the poster above said. They asked if I would be using the service before I got the card in the mail and yes I would, I was returning from MCO in 3 days. So they gave me a paper slip and said present this upon my return.
When I got to MCO to leave for home I showed the woman my slip, she escorted me to the airline employee lane. TSA did check the BC and ID, and then she walked me to the X-ray belt. 1 person was in front of me there, and he was already unpacking when I got there.
Way Faster than the Pre which I could have used. IMHO, Pre needs a Pre check, in other words you should have to prove you are PRE before you can get into the PRE line. At LAX they have made a mess of things, with lots of Pax who are not Pre in the Pre lane AND WORSE people who use the regular lane are getting 3 beeps and getting sent for re-checking at the Pre line. This causes a lot of cutting and moving and delays. Though the lane is still faster since it is just X-ray and nobody has to unpack or undress.
