The goal is to get 85% of the traveling public into a pre-check type of screening. Presumably that means a shift in the allocation of screening lines from standard to pre.

GE or the promised TSA system, will get you pre-check by selection rather than randomizer, so you should get it more often.

Not in the OP's scenario.

The determination (pre or regular) was made by touching the screen, not by scanning the BP or traveling in uniform while active duty military with ID.
