When TSA employees ask about what I do for a living, I always decline to provide any information.

I'm curious what questions are being asked during the PreCheck interview. A PM would be fine if you'd rather not post in the forum.

Is there a gate to walk through?

Same here. I've been losing weight, so I have a few pairs of jeans that are loose. Just me, but I know that the TSA employee doing a same sex grope on another man in public, in his hometown, and causing pants to drop will be more embarrassed than me.

If you trust TSA employees know how to operate the equipment competently.
