what's wrong with this picture? TSA PreCheck
What's wrong with this picture? After reaching the ID check i was the only one in line and went through in 15 seconds. It took five minutes to get to the ID check, though

It shows a long line of people in the Pre-Check lane.

I observed one TSA agent at SEA telling everyone to use the TSA pre-screen line. Then I observed another agent having a hissy fit after he saw what was happening. Then all the people put in the TSA prescreen were diverted back to the premium line for the xray and standard security screening. Just another Charlie Foxtrot in the life of the flying public.

Moving this to a forum where it is more topical.

The line needs to be guarded by someone with a scanner, like what AA and UA do at ORD. Since it is AS's hub, the duty falls to them, but they aren't paying anyone to do it. The TSA should require AS to provide someone as a condition of participation in PreCheck.

Seems like a typical PreCheck line to me. Then, when you finally get up to security, there are 4 TSO's (edited by moderator)standing around in the PreCheck lane bored, while 1 out of every 10 people actually gets PreCheck.
