It's also worth pointing out -- and of course no reporter mentioned it because their direct feed from the TSA's mouth to their "news" piece didn't include it -- is that with neither PreCheck or Managed Inclusion (what an awful name) can you show up later to the airport. You still have to show up early enough to account for being unlucky that day.

So what's the grand benefit of passing muster of the dog and the mind-reader?

Yep, leaving your shoes on and your laptop in your bag. Whooopeeeeeee!

Notice also how as far as I know, even though it might be practice right now, no one has ever said that PreCheck lines will remain AIT-free.
