The TSA agent that checks your ID and boarding pass will give you a laminated paper slip indicating that you’re a PreCheck traveler, which only allows you to walk through a different x-ray machine, whereas your carry on items still go into the same machine as all of the other regular travelers.
Most "PreCheck light" checkpoints still allow you to leave that stuff in. They put a marker through the x-ray ahead and behind your bag. You still get stuck in the same line as non-PreCheck travelers, hence PreCheck light.
