I don't really have an opinion on whether or not PreCheck should be available to Gate Pass holders, but aren't fewer resources used for PreCheck lanes? One less cycle on the NOS, much reduced chance of one-on-one interaction by a TSA agent due to resolution pat-down, lessened scrutiny due to trusted traveler status, etc. So why would a zero fee pass holder who is eligible for PreCheck have to go through the costlier regular line?
