But it's also no longer listed at dfwairport.com: "TSAPreCheck™ is now available in select DFW Airport terminals. Click below to learn more about the expedited screening initiative currently available in DFW Terminals A, C and D."
Is it gone for good?
Interesting.
This page only lists Terminal E as having "Expedited Screening", which IME experience in Terminal E means you have to stand in the regular security line but can keep your shoes on.
I've went through Terminal E security twice recently on Thursday afternoons. First time Pre was closed, but they shuffled people into the "Priority" line. Second time it was closed "due to staffing", so I got in the regular line. About 2 minutes later Pre opened up and I hopped out of line into the Pre line. So who knows what's up at DFW. If Pre continues to be hit or miss, I may start going in at C (or D) and taking the train.
