GM based in MKE where there's no pre-check, but I have breezed through the fast lanes*:
MSP - going home to MKE, Sunday. Companion on same PNR (no status) not allowed to tag along in the fast-lane.
ATL - going home to MKE, after an unexpected overnight the other day with the thunderstorms.
DCA - going home to MKE a few weeks ago.
* Never got an email, no GE, no nothing.

I would hope they would still allow companions to use the SP line. In DTW, the PreCheck scan is done after you enter the SP line, so companions are already in the SP line before one get's scanned for PreCheck.

Yeah, I'm wondering for my use in ATL where they scan at the head of the whole area, then direct pax to the appropriate line (general/pre/SP) from there. I suppose that at worst, I'll get us by with my smashing good looks and dazzling smile.

The post you are referring to only mentioned misdemeanors, not felonies. I was not aware they overlook them after 10 yrs, in fact would be surprised. AFAIK, if you ever had a misdemeanor arrest and they don't have the disposition, they will kick you out for that as well. IIRC, felony convictions will automatically bar you from PreCheck.

Right, fast implying PreCheck. Regarding SkyPriority yes.

Ah, good point. Heck. I'd be happy if the SkyPriority lane actually worked in MKE (they have another security lane but it's never open), PreCheck would be heaven.

I've never seen it done this way in ATL... the SP/pre lines are at the south checkpoint, but there is also a non-elite line there in addition to the other two.
They always scan your BP BEFORE the line splits into three (no SP check before entering the combined line for the three separate lines during peak times). If you do not get the triple-beep for pre-check, they direct you to either the SP or non-elite line based on your status/cabin.

Too many airports in too few days.

I hate waking up in a standard Marriott room and having to look at the address on the phone to figure out where I am!

Flew MCO-ATL Thursday. Scanned my boarding pass and told me I was pre selected for TSA line. Went to TSA line (only one in line) and was told I could enter this line anytime I was in Orlando. Never registered for anything online and I am not enrolled in any of the expedited programs. For that matter I was not aware of any pre check program.
Tried to take lap top out, no. Tried to take shoes off, no. Not sure how I got in but I like it!

Curious to know if the enrollment are "permanent" or "renewed" every year based on status?
Also, who keeps the list, DL or TSA?

Finally I paid for GE and was finally "randomly selected" for pre-check on my third trip after being approved and completing my interview. (I manually added my GE info to the trips that I'd already booked.)
In summary, as an ATL-based flyer, here are my 2011 stats:
0/30 as FO
0/10 as GM
1/3 as GM w/ GE
And here are my 2012 stats:0/10 as GM
1/3 as GM w/ GE
3/10 as GM w/ GE
It would be REALLY NICE if DL or the TSA would just state what the official requirements are and at least let you know if you were considered but denied pre-check for your trip (vs. not being considered at all).

However, with only 3/10 since getting GE, you may want to check to make sure your profile is updated on each of your itineraries. It is easy to do, as long as you do it more than three days before your travel. Make sure your GE number is properly recorded for each trip and see if that helps.
