TSA didn't roll out PreCheck to make your life easier. It was done to deflect growing criticism of TSA and its unreasonable screening policies. What is disappointing is how many people ate the TSA PreCheck bait instead of demanding reform that would benefit all travelers.

Now TSA has reduced the number of WTMD's for PreCheck lines replacing them with Nude-O-Scopes plus this new device slowing down things even more. I'm sure you will side with TSA since they have your $85 dollars.
I wonder what range of IDs the scanner is programmed to recognize. Passports? Passport/TT cards? Military/government IDs? Foreign IDs?

Costco cards and student IDs?
