When you get your boarding pass scanned and get the magical LLL, or triple beep, depending on the boarding pass scanner type, you get send to the pre-check dedicated lane. No NOS, just baggage x-ray and WTMD. The whole purpose of the program is to bypass the silly games TSA likes to play

Its not 100% guaranteed you get to access the pre-check lane every time you fly. Your accepted on a trip by trip basis not on a general basis.

Do you care to elaborate? Why would you care if there is no added security? TSA has been a joke since day one. If i don't have to waste my time opting out, practically stripping myself and the contents of my bag for the x-ray, playing the stupid say your name, or answering 20 questions irrelevant to aviation security, why is this a bad thing? I wouldn't call myself gullible, i'm not sharing any information that TSA doesn't already have based on secure flight data you are required to give when booking a ticket.
