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...

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!

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.

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.

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.

You "opt-in" by entering your Secure Flight Passenger Data in your profile and checking the box to consent to Delta storing it and sharing it with the TSA. If you received the email about the PreCheck program, you have been preselected based on your Delta status and do not need to fill in a Known Traveler Number. Just your name, gender, and birthdate.

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.
