If BA are slow to amend the BA.com database (though I bet it is a priority) then I imagine someone like Finnair or Qantas will do so first, but I haven't found an airline on Amadeus that is doing it yet.

My response from the usually brilliant Twitter team when asked to add my KTN to my US bookings:
We're sorry to disappoint you, however British Airways isn't involved in the Known Traveller Number programme and so we're unable to add the information to your booking, boarding pass or Executive Club account information.
The TSA website has FAQs which tell you the airlines that are involved, available using the link below, and lots of other information on the programme: TSA Pre-checked FAQs.

Yes, as far as I know, if it is a purely BA booking and you don't have access to a corporate GDS. The airport seems to be good enough, there doesn't appear to be much benefit in ringing in.

The above reply r3garding adding my KTN to a booking was received from BA today on Twitter. It really does seem to be a case of elbow and another part of the human anatomy. Given the monopoly on LHR slots to the US that BA enjoys I am not optimistic that it will become a straightforward process any time soon

I also had pre auth on my ( separately ticketed) LHR-SJC flight, but not SJC-LHR. No issues tho as SJC was very easy to clear security, and I think an other FTer was just in front of me yesterday.

I travelled AA using my BAEC number in the past week from SJC to PHX and to SJC from LAX , internal to USA, and got PreAuth. I don't have GE, so don't know why I got this? What is a Known Traveller Number and how acquired?

For those wanting to add their KTNs at the airport who may encounter an agent who isn't familiar with it yet, the basic Amadeus entry for them to use is SRDOCOBAHK1--K-XXXXXXXXX/P1 where X is your 9-11 character KTN. The --K- part of the entry doesn't change.
If they need further information, the Amadeus help pages have HEDOCO (MS295) and HETSA, but the formats on those pages have more information than necessary.
I'm not sure if call centre agents are able to add these in Pegasus yet.
