That's far, far fewer that I had guessed. He's never going to get the "millions more" that Pistole said last fall were needed in order for PreCheck to work as envisioned.
I wonder if that's 4% of the population (so someone flying 2x a week gets counted as 1, as does someone flying 1x or 0x per year), or 4% of the checkpoint transits (i.e. weighted by frequency of flying).

I'd also be very surprised if Precheck was only 4% of total trips through security.
