I'm going to call that Bull- um - pucky.

TSA makes the call. TSA designed the program with a degree of randomness so that a hypothetical bad guy couldn't invest 10 or 20K gain entry to Precheck and be assured that on 'the day' s/he could skate through.

The Airlines's interest is exactly opposite, to make the process as smooth as possible for their premium flyers.

TSA will always incorporate random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.
