I am a federal employee and a coworker of mine mentioned that she has gone through priority security screening (without being first class, etc) simply by presenting her federal hspd12 PIV card (federal id badge similar to a military CAC card, and the same id badge that tsa employees have). I have never tried this and have actually had my id denied at one checkpoint. My question is, has anyone out there had experience with this or does anyone have any knowledge of this as a common procedure? The airport I fly out of typically is O`hare.

Thanks for any info!
At this point, there is no inclusion in programs like Pre check based solely on the fact that a person is a federal employee (at least not that I have seen in the regs). The ID is a valid ID for the checkpoints, and should have gotten you in with no problem (your experience with a denial notwithstanding - policy indicates it is a valid ID).
