This is a frequent argument, but it doesn't really calm down the frequent fliers. I fly 1-2 times a month out of an airport that doesn't have PreCheck. So while it's nice on the return trip from DFW, I still raise all sorts of hell about how I'm treated at home (and sometimes DFW). Heck, read the stories here, some of which come from frequent fliers. It doesn't calm everyone down.
