No chance, i was in the WRONG line and I needed to do Precheck no matter what. Wouldn't it be my choice to use either in that case?
TSA Pre Check exists solely for the administrative convenience of the TSA, since they don't have the throughput to process everyone through the same invasive screening. They don't care how many people are backed up in the Pre Check line waiting for the type of screening everyone should receive.
