I often transit through SFO or EWR, at both places the Pre-check line can be absolutely massive. Problem is the TSA STILL lets everyone and their mother into the pre-check line, often first time flyers. The benefit of getting to cut to the front of this line during peak periods is actually one of my favorite bits of being GS... especially when trying to make tight international connections or trying to catch an earlier flight. .
