I'm GM and 100% at ATL since the program started. Love it.
Not member of Global Entry or Nexus, I need to get around to that. Also, never received an e-mail from Delta. I just showed up for a flight not long after the program started, had my BP scanned and was directed to the Pre lane. |
My info is filled in on delta.com and the box checked, but I did not get the speedy lane in DTW about two weeks ago. I guess I need more data points but I'm still not convinced that is all I need to do.
I have been using the TT lane with 100% success when flying AA out of DFW. |

strike 4 for TSA pre-check at DTW

Your boarding pass will be scanned at the checkpoint. If you qualify for Pre Check, you will be directed to the appropriate line. Selection for this new screening is supposedly random, so you are not automatically granted entrance every time just because of your credentials.

I'm not even sure you need to opt-in. I'm PM but haven't joined any of the NEXUS, GLOBAL plans but was selected in ATL on my last trip. Kinda surprised. The only membership I've had in the past was CLEAR (which hasn't come back to ATL yet).

I'm 10/12 in DTW. It is random, but you have to hit the Sky Priority line on the ticketing level. Actually been a few times on Monday morning when the Pre Check line was going slower since 1/2 people have no idea how it works. People are still taking off their belts, shoes and what not....
You don't have to be part of a trusted traveler program. Just make sure you have your full birthday, sex, and middle name in your profile. |
Confused System
If you have read through all the Pre Check comments you might be confused. That is because while the idea is nice, the execution is confused. This program does not require any new equipment just a change in procedure. Why then such a long roll out time. Most likely they are quite sure how to do it yet.
A few comments talk about being selected for pre check. Seems that if you are qualified for the program, the you go through pre check and a few randomly selected for the normal check. It will take at least a year for TSA to coordinate this. |

3 for 3 in ATL. Mrsgator21 flew with me last time. FO and a former CLEAR member. She didn't get selected and had to wait in line. I took most of the carryon stuff with me, cleared security, went to the bathroom and still had to wait on her to clear security.
Random, random, random... And that is what TSA wants. Random with no clear definition or way to predict. Just wish more airports were included (like RDU). |

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

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. 2. 6 million people, really? What else about your rant is an overexaggeration? :) |

Also, if you have GE or Nexus, I don't believe you need to be pre-selected.

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

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...

Maybe it is just me but I don't like the program.
Found out I was in at LAS and that was great, but the next Monday in Atlanta the scan sent me to the regular elite line which takes longer then the general public line. I have not bothered to even go to the. "correct" checkpoint again. The random factor makes it useless for me at my main airport (ATL) |
