True, but they could bring bins back to Precheck. Or make you dump your snacks out into one of those doggie bowls. With the TSA you never know.

Really hoping this is a fluke as I fly through BOS a lot. Surely if it had something to do with the pilot program they would have told people they had to take food out of their bags?

Just searched on Twitter, found reports of Precheck users being required to take snacks out, and found reports of this at LAS and IND as well. Also found reports of people being asked to take ALL electronics out of bag. Interestingly these tweets go back months, I'm surprised this is the first I've heard of this.

This is going to slow things down a lot. The whole point of Precheck is that you don't have to take anything out... even if you are allowed to leave liquids and laptops in, that won't do much good if everyone has to take food out.
