Interesting that you got a CBP guy who even knew what PreCheck was, not to mention the details and workings behind it. I asked my CBP guy about PreCheck and he didn't even know what it was. When I started to say, "the TSA priority screening program," he interrupted me and said, "TSA is DHS. We don't deal with that here."

I'm also slightly confused what slots he's talking about. The more slots for what are available for elites?
