I absolutely agree. I'll add one tip, though - even if you are enrolled in PreCheck by some means, prepare for the airport as though you aren't. Especially at some smaller stations, but even at some larger, pre-check is sometimes inexplicably closed (usually a staffing issue at PWM). They may offer expedited, which means PreCheck for the person but not the bags, or nothing at all. Plus, the simple act of having all of my freedom baggies in the front pocket of a bag seems to guarantee that PreCheck will be open
