Pre-Check Dispositions

I hate going through the nude-o-scopes (only because I have to remove everything and it takes forever) and on the occasions I have to, I'm miserable and surly. I take my sweet ... time getting dressed and putting everything back in my pockets. I've also noticed that the TSA agents seem to be nearly as miserable in these situations.

On the contrary, I've been Pre-Check since January and not only am I cheery, so are the TSA agents. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes. ^ But we all did before the idiotic shoes/liquids/naked photos B.S. started. Why not go back? (like the rest of the world)

I had to do the nude-o-scope at AMS earlier this year flying to CPT and back again to JFK.

My first time was when Pre-check went live in BOS. Everyone was so happy because they didn't have to do anything. The homophobic TSA agents knew they didn't need to feel up my resistance.

Regarding normal (well the new normal) screening, I take pride is taking my sweet time transiting the feel up stations during my opt-outs. I get extremely excited when TSA checkpoints gets held up because of me.

Okay, the rest of the world minus 7 countries. None of which has found a single terrorist.

At DFW, terminal D and terminal C they are super cheery. I am usually the only one or one of two or three people going through their line. I love pre-check, I love pre-check, la-la-la-la-la, I love pre-check.

The TSA folks actually seem to be normal human beings at the pre-check line.

Pre-Check Dispositions

ATL is the same way. Very professional and courteous every time. Also had a real nice agent at DTW in PreCheck yesterday. It's a night and day difference in my experiences.
