Now that you're back, I have a question about SEA. The Pre✓™ lines at SEA seem grossly underutilized as compared with the general lanes. I have a KTN, so it doesn't effect me personally, but the general lines are really bad at times. As of last month, online boarding passes issued by United Airlines for flights departing from SEA had the following message printed on them:

So there's really no denying that there is a problem. Other domestic airports don't have that warning and the general lines are more reasonable. It seems like SEA is begging for managed inclusion, yet I have seen no evidence of it. Why are some stations selected for managed inclusion, yet a station that really needs it doesn't use it-- at least not when I've been there. Maybe you should give the FSD a call and ask. There is no excuse for making people to wait an hour in line for security; something on your end is broken.
