Which means adding another 15-20 min waiting for the pat-down since no way in hell im going through those scanners. The alleged science stating they are safe is just more made up garbage from the TSA. Also you have days the randometer is jacked up to "every other person" mode
Sadly i can go to almost any country in the world including those on watchlist, with GE and no bag check but to go through precheck i'm some kind of criminal.

They just scan you with arm down. Every once in a while you will get someone who will stick their hand up as far as possible. Lucky for me gentle so far but there are reports in the past of TSO forcefully raising arm so far it causes pain. I see me losing my precheck when i go off on one of those TSO's
