Yes, I should have mentioned TSA Precheck at TBIT... The times, however, can be spotty, despite what the TSA website says. I've arrived early morning and NO Pre-Check was available, and had to go through regular screening. Luckily due to early morning time and not many departures at that time, was still through in less than 5 minutes.

Also, the RIGHT side of TBIT now does have Pre-Check (used it last week for a 12p departure)... but again, I think it depends on the time of day!
