The TSA has said it wants the vast majority of passengers to be eventually eligible for PreCheck screening -- given DHS/TSA doublespeak that could mean either a possible recipient of PreCheck LLL outcomes in terms of at-airport physical screening or it could mean merely that the TSA has subjected them to PreCheck computer checks. Either way expect massive numbers of such passengers to be exposed to how PreCheck "works". The days of PreCheck being a fast track for a small minority of passengers are relatively numbered. Already all pre-teens are eligible for PreCheck, whether they get it or use it or not; that should make MCO a fun place.
