I went through this when I went through IAD security with P2 who didn't have precheck at the time but I had precheck. They told me I walked too fast which was not true as I kept pace with the person next to me... but obviously you shouldn't argue so I had to then go to the back of the long line and walk it again. At that point might as well have gone to precheck but that could have been suspicious so I didn't want to do that and risk whatever the TSA authoritarians wanted to unleash so I just waited in line and did the dance again.
