Some may claim precheck is not one size fits all, but precheck in my opinion is just placating to business interest and it is an intrusion into privacy and seems to treat the traveling public as suspect based on a persons flight histories.
Yes, of course it's a double standard.
It's 11 years too late, now, but I wish someone on 9/13/01 had said that "the actions of the 9/11 terrorists in no way reflect on the vast majority of the traveling public" and that we "have a zero-tolerance policy for such actions" and that anyone found using an aircraft as a weapon in the future would be "reprimanded and, if necessary, retrained."
Agree with you about precheck, too; it's just a bauble to (attempt to) distract TSA's loudest opponents.
