I got it even though I'm just Silver; and I entered the Known Traveler number or whatever on AA's site and got to use the pre-check line at AA's MIA terminal.

That is correct. TT members need only enter their PASSIDs into their Delta profiles to qualify.

us citizens only
 
Don't forget this is only for US citizens, so green card holders are a no go... I wonder why... I am pretty sure the US government has more info on me than on the average US citizen. I've been fingerprinted and photographed and interviewed etc...

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experience. Flying DTW - MSP Thurs 1/26.
We'll see what happens.

So far I'm 1/1 in ATL, 1/3 in DTW (2 misses were both on 1-way tickets, so perhaps that had something to do with it, who knows), and 1/2 in LAS (miss was on an international reservation). When it happens, it's great!

I got selected at DTW as a GM with no other previous credentials. It really is great. Was on a domestic iten.

edit: Also was a one way. YMNK

Gripe with GE
 
OK, So I understand that the selection for Pre-check is "random"...but I flew out of MSP today at 12:20pm...there was ONE xray machine staffed at the SkyPriority lane and 6 million people in line....anyway

Here's my Gripe...why does someone who has done a background check, fingerprinting, interview, etc...have to be randomly selected? when a Gold medallion with no background check is considered more secure? Obviously, I did not get selected, left the skypriority lane, when to check point 6, stood in the regular line, and still got through faster. Rant over.

Because we are dealing with the TSA.

I have been at 100% when flying out of DTW since the program started and really like it. The only problen is that you get "spoiled" and have to go back to the routine on your return trip. With more airports being added, maybe that will become less of an issue.

Not Selected :(
 
Flew 2 weeks ago. not selected. That makes me 0/13 out of DTW.

Did you fill out your Secure Flight Passenger Data profile and select the TSA consent check-box on delta.com? Are your flights all domestic? PreCheck does not apply if you have any international segments. The only time I have missed was when I had an international segment.

There is anecdotal evidence on the AAdvantage forum that if you have a BP for a domestic leg, and there are no more international legs left in your booking, that you are PreCheck eligible. For example, if you were flying SLC-DTW-LHR-DTW-SLC, you would not be eligible on the SLC-DTW leg, but you could be eligible on DTW-SLC.

I never signed up for it, but am PM. In Vegas 2 weeks ago I got directed to the special line and breezed through without barely having to take my pants off or ANYthing. They swept me through it so fast that I was throwing objects from my pockets into the air and catching them on the other end.

No Nexus, Global Entry, or ex-CLEAR for me, nor did I get a DL email - but I'm 100% for pre-check at DTW.

I'm a PM but no GE or NEXUS and luckilly I am 100% at DTW since they started the program and I LOVE it

Makes clearing security so much easier, just put your cell phone in your back pack and take off my jacket and that's it.

DTW is the only airport where it is in place that I have flown out of so far. I have a LAS trip in two weeks so hopefully I will have goo luck on that flight coming home as well.
