The rest of the page (ads, coupons, etc.) was full-size, just the boarding pass was shrunk.

I am wondering if the fact that a passengers is cleared--even at an airport without a pre-check lane--helps us though security.
This happened to me at my home airport (GRR; no pre-check or priority lanes) on the way out last trip: agent scanned my BP, and then directed me to a short hardly ever used lane (1 passenger ahead of me) directly behind her without the full body scanner. I still had to take my laptop out, but no body scanner, and I was through the lane in a matter of seconds.

I just got my Global Entry approved yesterday and got my PASS ID number, I'm flying out from LAX in the morning and have added my pass id number to my skymiles account, called Delta to see if they can add that information to my flight but they said it updates automatically when I put it in online. What are my chances of using Tsa Precheck on my flight in the morning? Thanks!

Pet and precheck
Has anyone had any issues using precheck when travelling with a pet? I will be flying with a cat in two weeks and wasn't sure if that would make me ineligible or not

Last week in SLC the precheck line was somewhat backed up. The TSA agent mentioned that it was probably the lady who went through with her dogs a little earlier. I didn't see her or her dogs, but I assume based on the TSA agent's comment that the lady did go through precheck with pets.

I tried searching through the thread but didn't really find the answer I was looking for. I don't have GE and don't plan on getting it. Will Delta enroll me in pre-check as a gold medallion at some point if I have it checked to "provide my info with TSA" or whatever that is? Do they only do it for PM/DM?

Delta TSA Pre-Check
Just had my first "line" ever at the Pre at LGA. 6 people in a row cleared which I have never seen happen on a Wednesday morning. LGA is actually pretty crowded for 5am on Wed- waiting online for Skyclub and there are over 30 people on upgrade list for 6am to ATL (and I'm here Wed mornings all the time when there is never a pre or SkyClub line nor more than 10 medallions on that flight). Wonder what's going on today?

Are you traveling exclusively domestically? I am a GE and a Platinum Medallion member. On both DL and UA, I have received TSA pre-check (3 beeps and LLL) 100% of the time on domestic itineraries and 0% on international itineraries (whether on a domestic flight connecting to an international flight or international flight without a domestic segment).

3 for 3 this week at TPA, DTW & MSP.
Only six minutes from curbside to Sky Club in Tampa but at MSP yesterday the Pre-Check line was co-mingled with the Sky Priority line which really slowed down the trip. Is there a reason why a DL hub doesn't have a dedicated line like nearly every other participating airport?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered:
I am no longer a regular DL flyer and do not currently have status.
I have been using pre-check extensively when flying on AA.
I am flying LGA-MSY-LGA next week on DL.
Is pre-check available ex-LGA? [Edited to add: ok, I read enough of this thread to see that pre-check is available ex-LGA!]
I edited my profile at delta.com to add my Global Entry number. Is this all I need to do to be pre-check eligible on DL?
(BTW, I haven't flown DL ex-LGA since they took over the US terminal. Does the LGA-MSY flight always depart from the same terminal, or do I need to check that morning to see which terminal to go to? I feel like such a newbie!!)

The GlobalEntry number should suffice. You should also check that the name is exactly correct.
