A few family members of mine who don't travel much managed to get pre-check on two flights recently, and flying out of PDX they got it, but still ended up getting sent through a body scanner (but didn't have to take off shoes, belt, take out computer, etc.) I don't know if the official pre-check lane was closed or what but from what I've seen and read on other threads on here, there seems to be more and more of this type of thing happening, and especially at my home airport. Kinda feels like a bait and switch with TSA trying to get people to pay to sign up and touting all the benefits of Pre-Check, but then end up sending random travelers through the lane anyways increasing the wait, and then start to have the body scanners be used more often for people in Pre-Check. I mean if that's how its going to go, whats the point?
