ORD was like that last Sunday. Hundreds of extra Pre-Check. The line was literally a block long. Many passengers clearly were not frequent travelers.

There isn't a Pre-check in Europe, but the lines move faster and more efficiently than they do in the US. Why is that?

And everyone, not just people who pay extra, get that treatment.

Went through ORD 10/21, Precheck was a disaster. Went through standard screening.
BWI is my home airport. I joined Clear about two years ago to avoid the growing precheck lines there. It's worked very well for me. Now instead of 30-45 mins, I can park my car in the garage and be at the gate in 10 mins.

This. No barking and shouting, no expensive video screens and over-priced custom glass cabinets of 'do not take items', often a far greater number of folks who don't know the local language - yet somehow the lines consistently move more quickly and without the cumbersome disrobe/unpack/confiscate routine we go through here in the US. No one targeting black folks' hair (and bald scalps) for a rubdown, no freaking out over breast milk.
And everyone, not just people who pay extra, get that treatment.

What happened? I still cannot find anything anywhere stating the senate passed the bill.

Not sure what TSA is doing with Managed Inclusion 2019 but wife and I just completed a round trip and we had Pre on both legs. Had been thinking of enrolling in Pre but I like a gamble. I will say that the Pre lanes at both airports seemed under utilized when we went through.

My companion was quite surprised - she has never gotten Pre before.

I traveled with a younger family member (26) a few weeks ago. I get free Pre occasionally, no idea why. I got it this time, but what really surprised me was that my companion also got it. We were both on the same PNR.
