It frustrates me as i always get the intl SSSS, it was originally a CBP hit as i worked in the middle east for a while, but they have since cleared my flag and actually given me GE. However still getting the SSSS when flying to the US, last week was the best when i got it and has PreCheck on the connecting flight.
I did joke with the contractor saying its funny as i've been given precheck on US soil due to my status... her answer.. they precheck all travelers... she had no clue
