At IAD on Sunday, I noticed the Pre line no longer actually checks / scans your BP at all (there is an airport employee at the head of the line who glances at your BP for TSAPre logo, but that's it). They now scan your ID and don't bother to confirm it matches BP at all (interesting, if logical in real-people thinking, just not logical in TSA thinking). But that is fodder for another thread--just have to find the right one...
However, they did not seem to pay any additional attention to electronics. I had my laptop, Kindle, phone, big lithium ion battery pack, and more in my laptop bag, not to mention a rollaboard full of DSLR equipment. They pulled my laptop bag ... to look at a pen. Yep, just a pen. Didn't swab any of the electronics, didn't even pull them out.
