That is complete and utter falsity. Even in Pre-Check, respectful screening doesn't always happen.

Very true. Pre-Check should be the standard and an even more simplified process should be the Pre-Check standard, like with a lifting of liquids restrictions and no "random" referral to NOS/Pat Down.

Not according to you, apparently.

The threatened tightening of rules looks like it will apply to FFers who now get Pre based on airline status. As a group, they may be more likely to know what to expect and prepare. That's a change that can be controlled by TSA HQ.
Managed inclusion is supposed to be going down as well.
