Or they are people who know what sets off the alarm and therefore take off the offending pieces of clothing/footwear to stop slowing down people further. One of my pairs of shoes sets off the metal detectors. The extra 5 seconds to take them off stops me from holding up the line and going through the detector again.

Guess I need my precheck revoked

I did not mean to say that the PreCheck logo appeared on YOUR boarding pass when you clearly stated otherwise. I mean to say that the PreCheck logo appears on boarding passes now in general, when you have been approved for PreCheck on that flight. To make sure, you can scan your boarding pass as well.

So what I'm saying is that the lack of the logo should've tipped you off to the fact that you likely weren't going to get LLL, and you could've scanned your BP to make sure. You were not in a "kettle" line. You were in the F/EXP/PLT line, which is distinct even from the PriorityAccess line. AA doesn't have a higher priority line. Since your PreCheck is from a federal trusted traveler program, it has nothing whatsoever to do with your airline status. PreCheck is a TSA program. The agent is there to filter out PreCheck from non PreCheck. Since you weren't cleared for PreCheck, you shouldn't have been in the PreCheck lane, simple as that. This has nothing to do with ticketing procedures, and I still don't understand why you are calling this ludicrous. An EXP sitting in coach while there are empty seats up front? Maybe ludicrous. This? Get over it.

Edit: Missed brp's post, but +1.

I think there may be some sarcasm in your post, but my humor detector is a bit shot from the post above. When I encounter these people, a quick word to them not to pull out their stuff and take off their clothes usually suffices; something like "you do know it's not necessary to do all that, right?" leaving someone like Antarius able to justify his or her actions if need be.

FINASTORY

Monday morning, there were issues with the X Ray at the PreCheck line next to the flagship checkins. They opened up Checkpoint 8, and directed all of us there. But by the time I got thru and was going towards the L gates, the Original Pre Check line was back open. So both lanes were operating as PreCheck

I can verify this also. I've printed boarding passes very recently from the kiosk and they do bear the Pre-check logo when I get LLL. The ones printed on card stock by the ticket counter agent or GA do not get the logo, at least not as of two days ago.
