You can do the application on line (or in a SC) and then when you complete the procedure at the airport, which only takes a couple minutes, you'll be escorted to the front of the line for TSA aiorport security for your flight that day.
Ha! Ya right, you don’t get “escorted” to the front of any line. You get you own line to the TSA ID checker that alternates between Clear and PreCheck. The length of that line determines if you save any time or not...IME it’s a toss up sometimes it saves a lot of time, usually it doesn’t save any, and often it costs time.
