Pre check elligable.
So the airline swears blind I am pre check approved but every time I am directed to the general line. Have I done something to anger the TSA or am I doing something wrong?

Best thing to do is decode your boarding pass when you check in. That way, at least you know how much time to allow for security at the airport.

That sounds to me like a procedural problem with one airline, in that your known traveler number isn't getting into the SFPD.

From my reading of various threads, it seems that two reasons people fail to get PreCheck are 1) The name in the secure flight info is not the same as the name on the reservation, and 2) there is international travel on their itinerary.
Please note that for #1, online account name or name with the airline is not the same as the secure flight name for many airlines. You need to go to the specific secure flight section of the airline's online account.
