I don't mind walking between terminals to use precheck, it's a very short walk.

The Orange Shirts are pretty irritating in PHL. I know my international carry on is half an inch too wide but there's no other airport that has ever cared about it. Even worse is that enforcement is inconsistent. Only about 10% of the time do they hassle you. I've checked my bag a couple times at their direction, returned to the line to find the same orange shirts allowing others with bags much larger through.

I guess my irritation should go to AA for having an obnoxiously narrow requirement that doesn't align with most of the industry. Also I wonder who is directing the orange shirts on this...must be local station airline management.
