PreCheck FAQ:
What is PreCheck?
TSA Pre✓™ allows select frequent flyers of participating airlines, members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs, or randomly selected passengers to receive expedited screening benefits during domestic travel. Eligible participants use dedicated screening lanes for screening benefits which include leaving on shoes, light outerwear and belts, as well as leaving laptops and 3-1-1 compliant liquids in carry-on bags. (from http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-pre%E2%9C%93%E2%84%A2)
What do I need to do to enroll in PreCheck?
There are two ways to enroll in PreCheck:
1. Be invited by Alaska Airlines, or
2. Sign up for a Trusted Traveler program
At this time, Alaska appears to have only invited a limited number of MVP Gold and MVP Gold 75K flyers to use PreCheck. Anyone can sign up for a Trusted Traveler program, though.
See the Alaska Airlines PreCheck FAQ page for good, detailed information on how to ensure you are set to receive PreCheck benefits.
If you are relying on a Trusted Traveler program membership to grant PreCheck access, be sure your name in your "Personal Information" in your "Traveler Profile" (as specified in the link above) is an exact match with what is displayed in your online GOES profile. If it is not, then either contact Alaska to have your profile's name edited, or be sure to edit your SecureFlight data each time you book a new reservation so that your name is an exact match with your GOES profile. A mismatch is very likely to prevent you from being selected for PreCheck.
It is also possible that you have been randomly selected for PreCheck.
If you are randomly selected, you'll see the PreCheck logo displayed on your paper or mobile boarding pass. You'll have all the benefits of PreCheck status for that flight and can use the PreCheck lane in your city of departure.
Should I opt-in with AS or sign up for a Trusted Traveler program?
Opting in with AS is free.
The Trusted Traveler programs have an associated membership fee and interview process but grant additional benefits for international travelers Global Entry is $100 for a five-year membership, requires an interview at one of several enrollment centers across the US, and allows expedited re-entry into the U.S. NEXUS is $50 for a five-year membership, includes a complimentary Global Entry membership, requires an interview at one of a handful of selected enrollment centers near the Canadian border, and allows access to expedited lanes when crossing into Canada or the U.S. at a land crossing. SENTRI is similar to NEXUS but works for the Mexican border instead. Once you receive your approval letter, the numbers on the letter are your TSA PreCheck number. When scheduling your interview, it does not have to be the nearest center - so keep this in mind and consider your travels.
Reports are that those using a Trusted Traveler membership program tend to have higher PreCheck selection rates than those who simply opt in through AS. It's possible that elites who have opted in and provide a Known Traveler program number have the highest selection rates of all, although no method guarantees 100% selection for PreCheck.
How to Add Your PASSID to Existing Reservations
If you receive approval for PreCheck via Global Entry, Nexus or another Trusted Traveler program you will receive a card which (typically on the back) contains a PASSID number. For already existing AS reservations, go to the "My Trips" section of the Alaska website. Under each reservation, go to the "Traveler Information" section. On the right side is "Traveler Documentation." Click on the "Enter Required Documentation" link and select the traveler on the itinerary (if there is more than one traveler). Click the "Continue" button and then click on the "Enter Known Traveler/Redress Number" link. In the box for "Known Traveler Number" enter the PASSID that has been assigned. Click the "Continue" button and repeat as necessary until all the existing reservations have been populated with the PASSID.
What airports does AS participate in PreCheck?
See the map on TSA's site or download the PDF guide from TSA's site. Also note, though, if:
a) You are flying on AS, and
b) You have opted in to PreCheck, and
c) the airport has a PreCheck checkpoint (shown on the map or PDF), and
d) TSA doesn't randomly decide to deny you (hopefully not),
then (assuming you qualify for and have opted in to PreCheck) you will receive a PreCheck-enabled BP. Unless the PreCheck checkpoint leads to a concourse that is not attached to the concourse containing your departure gate, you can use PreCheck at that airport. It does not matter if TSA's map or PDF guide do not specify that Alaska participates at that particular airport.
Some airports have a version of PreCheck referred to as "PreCheck Lite." Those airports (either due to space or staffing limitations) modify the benefits of PreCheck --- you may need to remove your laptop and/or remove your liquids. Keep an eye out for signage in the PreCheck lane to see if modifications have been made to PreCheck at your departure airport. You may be able to leave your shoes on (unless they have metal shanks that will alarm) and you may be able to leave light coats and sweaters on.
Here is a list of airports and checkpoint locations confirmed by FlyerTalkers to work for AS flyers:
Others listed on TSA's site as PreCheck airports but that FlyerTalkers have not verified. If you are familiar with any of these, please edit this wiki and move them to the above category!

TSA Adds AS to Pre✓™ Program
Really would like to see a split line for Elite and Pre Check at PDX. ...and a Pre Check lane for D/E/F terminals (how is this not already implemented?!).
One of the most obnoxious things I've seen are people insisting they are cleared for Pre Check (non-GE elites) and then wasting everyone's time while people get backed up in the queue...elite access lanes do not imply Pre Check.
If the TSA would validate a BP for triple beep before entry to the line, this whole clusterf**k could be eliminated.
I waited in back of 20 people on my last trip out of PDX going through the elite line. None of them cleared Pre Check and then got diverted into the standard line. Each seemed to ask why they didn't get the nod -- and I didn't hear one person say they were a GE member.

They don't need to be GE members, if invited by the airline, which usually applies only to elites with that airline, then you may qualify for PreCheck that way, I think more people are qualified that way than by GE (I'm qualified by both for Alaska, but GE only for any other airlines).

When they developed precheck they should have included a means whereby a line monitor could verify that we are part of the precheck program before they let us in the line. Then the only people who wouldn't get the triple beep would be the 15% (or whatever the percentage is) of legitimate precheck customers who are deselected for this trip. Instead they seem to expect everyone to be honorable and only get in the precheck line if they belong there. A bit naive.
So given what we have the only solution seems to be to do what you suggest -- check for the triple beep right up front.

(I got the beeps, but she looked surprised when I said I wouldn't go to another checkpoint. No benefit to me, I don't wear a belt, wasn't carrying a laptop, jacket was off as soon as I entered the terminal (hot), LGAs were in an outside pouch and my shoes were already off. It was faster for me to stay there, because there was no line anyway).

This is the standard procedure in ATL. Outsourcer scans bp and directs you to the proper lane. If pre does not clear then they usually have to be reminded that AS Gold have access to elite line, which they choose to ignore at times.

The Washington Post seems to have indicated that PreCheck boarding passes can be forged.

Coming to RNO
A TSA agent at RNO told me that precheck will be available when their renovations are complete. I didn't get an exact date but believe it will be next spring.
Also: I like the new precheck setup at SEA's central checkpoint. They scanned my BP at the entry to the line to make sure I got the triple beep before allowing me to proceed.

PreCheck coming to ANC in December
http://www.alaskajournal.com/Alaska-...-in-Anchorage/
The Transportation Safety Administration recently announced an expansion of its PreCheck screening system to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport for eligible travelers.
Lorie Dankers, TSA public affairs manager said the program should be implemented in Anchorage by early December.
Lorie Dankers, TSA public affairs manager said the program should be implemented in Anchorage by early December.
Alaska Airlines, United, Delta and U.S. Airways are the participating airlines at Anchorage Airport.
Travelers not invited by an airline and not currently enrolled in a Trusted Traveler program can apply for a security screening through Border Patrol. However, they will have to go elsewhere for the screening process, which includes an interview, photo, and finger printing, Dankers said, as the closest airport with an enrollment center is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Equality for Alaskans
While there probably aren't very many Alaskans affected by the lack of interview staff here, I have written to our representatives in D.C. as everyone else in the country including Hawaii can drive or take a very short (inexpensive) flight to an interview center. The Border folks could easily send a person up here one day a month or whatever depending on the applications from Alaska. That would cut the cost significantly even for those outside Anchorage.
Things like this get a little tiresome. If you agree, please send an email to Senators Begich and Murkowski and Representative Young asking them to support equality for Alaskans!

If baliktad and I are correct, AA flyers should get access to the PreCheck lane. As I wrote before:
As mentioned above by baliktad and confirmed by me, it doesn't matter if AS is among the specified carriers.
If:
a) the airline participates in PreCheck (AS does), and
b) the airport has a PreCheck checkpoint (HNL does), and
c) TSA doesn't randomly decide to deny you (hopefully not),
then (assuming you qualify for and have opted in to PreCheck) you will receive a PreCheck-enabled BP. Unless the PreCheck checkpoint leads to a concourse that is not attached to the concourse containing your departure gate, you can use PreCheck at that airport.

Interested to see if that is actually the case, though.

Interesting they don't claim AA as a participant.
If baliktad and I are correct, AA flyers should get access to the PreCheck lane. As I wrote before:
In this case, AA fits the bill for all of the above criteria, so AA flyers whom AA has selected to participate in PreCheck or who have submitted a Trusted Traveler number with their SecureFlight data should qualify to get the triple beep.
Interested to see if that is actually the case, though.
AA doesn't have service in the winter so perhaps that's why they are not listed? (A theory)
