I believe that the checkers can tell if one is even eligible for Pre-Check on a given airline as well as if they qualify for this particular flight. For people who are not even eligible in a given case, and try to scam it, the best approach would be to send them out of the line. For those that are eligible, but don't qualify on a given flight (no general way to know without scanning barcodes), jumping into the line is reasonable.

Cheers.
