).
But you head to the departure lobby instead you have access to the priority security lines. It is one of those tricks those connecting at IAH from an international arrival learn (or you learn from FTer).
Came through IAH today on an int'l to domestic connection, and immediately after the bag re-check area are quite large signs with arrows saying "TSA Pre-Check". Presumably these are fairly recent as they don't seem to have been mentioned upthread. They direct one through the sliding doors and upstairs to the main E checkpoint, where there is both Pre-Check and CLEAR.
