With the utilization of AIT at select TSA Pre✓™ checkpoints, a random generator on each walk-through metal detector may direct a passenger to be screened via an AIT unit; happened to me Monday, and added less than 30-second to my screening.
So, in other words, you're drastically reducing the value of pre-check. Got it.
