I wonder if this disqualifies vets who have been diagnosed with PTSD?
Well, if we're using "propensity to commit terrorist acts" as the criteria for PreCheck or not, then there's a good argument to bar all current and former members of the US armed forces from PreCheck, since they are statistically more likely to commit a terrorist act on US soil than the US population at large. Of course, the numbers are miniscule, but there's certainly no reason to give members of the military and veterans any ADVANTAGE when it comes to PreCheck.
