In DEN, they won't let you into the CLEAR Pre-Check lane unless you can show you have Pre-Check. The non-Pre-Check CLEAR lane is on totally the opposite side of security; and I'm shocked just how busy the non-Pre-Check CLEAR lane is. People will drop a chunk of change to avoid long non-Pre-Check lines, but they won't spend the extra $15/yr to get Pre-Check?
I longingly looked at the Pre-Check lines as my cold, bare feet shuffled through the metal detectors.
