With a smile of course - those guys were the nicest CBP officers I've ever talked to. However another officer said that I could, if I was also part of Nexus (I am), so all is good.
I agree that it's totally ridiculous that GC holders aren't given some of this stuff more readily. The US government now know pretty much everything about me except my DNA itself. It's bad enough that we get fingerprinted every time still. "hey sure, come to this country, create work, contribute to society and the economy, and don't forget to pay oodles of taxes while you're at it! But don't forget that we still don't trust you, even though we say we do...."

Ideally the TSA Pre site shows that Green card holders are eligible to apply. Copy/Paste from their own website.
What are the eligibility requirements for TSA Pre✓™?
