AFAIK, all xrays will be replaced with CT scanners (more money). There will be no exemption for Precheck.
If anything,
if these machines perform
as advertised, the value of Precheck will be diminished because all pax will be able to leave their laptops and LGAs in their bags. The only advantage to Precheck will be keeping (some) shoes and outerwear on and possibly a dedicated line.
