Can anyone explain the system. It doesn't seem to be consistent.
As Beckles indicated in the graph, even those with the highest level of probability, it's still probability, not certainty.

This goes to the TSA's "randomness" that is introduced so that the system can't be reliably gamed by nefarious people.

Restated: Pre-Check is purposefully inconsistent.
