Curious as to how the TSA Clerks would react to the PreCheck flag on a BP that is also A/A+. Would the podeum-paper-checker force you way down to the far-right end or let you thru the Crew/Elite Line, *and* would the TSA down at the checkpoint have the presence of mind to send those with PreCheck thru the WTMD (on the left) at the end of the line?
Right now, with the PreCheck lane being basically a free-for-all, I'd highly recomend using the Fly By lane for anyone with status or a BS ticket (at any airports where Pre and Fly By are not one and the same).
One hopes (but isn't confident) that eventually PreCheck will settle down and only be open to pax that actually have PreCheck (well... and also apparently seniors and military), and that at that point the ease of not having to remove shoes and bag contents + WTMD only will make Pre a more attractive option.
