Yes, my boarding pass has the "3" which means if there was Pre-Check in T2 at PHX I could use it. I did not edit the data posted other than to remove personal information.

Possible. What I did to test the concept was decode the barcode, then take the information I got and re-encode it on another system. The barcode created looked the same as the first. If there was "hidden" data, it should have manifested in the design of the barcode. Though, I admit I am no great shake at understanding the creation of barcode.
