Can I say the same for other airports, no. But I have a feeling that the majority of airports took a standard lane, reprogrammed the equipment settings and voila, PreCheck lane.
Yes, every airport had backscatter x-ray machines and remote viewing rooms plus all the required cabling before TSA. Those spaces surely came from somewhere even though they are gone now not to mention the extreme cost to taxpayers that TSA forced on taxpayers while never complying with the law and continues to operate MMW WBI outside the law even today.
"Reprogrammed the equipment settings", interesting remark. So Pre Chech WTMD's are set differently than regular TSA screening lanes, why would that be?
