Therefore, they are hiding behind this concept of different levels of screening. That way, they can speed things up without anyone accusing them of compromising security.
That is exactly my impression too, and I find it very disconcerting for the purely personal reason that, as a foreigner, I donīt seem to be on their list of future PreCheck-deserving people, and will therefore probably be even more abused in the future, since they will focus even more attention on us left-outers.
