BUR TSA Precheck
I know it is available at A, but I can't find that it is @ B (and this week will be my first flight out of T2 in a decade or more).
Is it available @ B? The latest I can find is that in early 2018, it was not.

Terminal B only has pre-check light. You get a card that lets you keep your shoes on and walk through the magnetometer, but laptop and liquids have to come out.
On rare occasions I've seen as many as 10 people in line at Terminal B security, but I'm often the only one, or there's one person in front of me.

At least as of yesterday, there's a regular precheck line. However, it was about to close as I arrived, and when I expressed my surprise of seeing the line, the agent said "you're the last one today." And it closed right afterward, at approximately 1pm (on a Sunday).

I've never seen regular pre-check in B, even when they were opening up a second X-ray! I usually am flying out thursday and friday late afternoon/early evening.
ETA: I even went and checked the TSA site and they only ever show it for T1. You should fly out of BUR more often and let me know when you are!

I still haven't flown JSX out of BUR - I had a flight booked once that I ended up cancelling. I find BUR so easy to deal with (I'm usually flying AS), even with the TSA checkpoint that schedule and price drive my ticket buying. JSX seems to be competitive on price close in but much less so if I'm booking more than a week out, which I usually manage to do for my flights to the bay area, which is more personal travel.
