Second: Many smaller airports now have Pre-Check lite, where you will get to leave your shoes and coat on, but will still have to take liquids and electronics out of your bag.

Third: The one time recently I didn't get PC, it was not printed on my BP. My electronic BP was missing the blue bar in the corner, and when I tried to print at home and the kiosk, it wasn't on the BP. That's the random part. In ~200 trips through the PC line, I have never had it printed on the BP but not gotten the three beeps.
Exceedingly helpful, I appreciate you posting this. Clearly the program has evolved, I haven't travelled enough to truly see the changes. Wife and kids just got GE, so will hopefully be Pre when they fly next Feb.
