I only fly AA.
At www.aa.com, I can look at my "general" profile, and it shows a checkmark (and has my GE number) which shows that I am pre-check eligible. When I look at each reservation (including international), it ALSO shows that I am pre-check eligible for that flight; yet, I never get selected for international.
[About a year ago, I had purchased a ticket through a TA, they placed my middle initial into my first name field; for that res., it did not show pre-check eligible and as expected:), I was not selected.]

Maybe a third of the time when I go through Pre-Check they swab my bags for something to do. It still saves a lot of time so I don't care. There is almost never a line at the AA check point so there are at least two of them doing nothing.

Is that at T3 ORD ??

That's the one!

I wonder if the precheck line at T1 is a disaster if I could walk down to T3 (admittedly a long walk).

Most everyone is well aware of the difference between CBP and TSA, and what the purpose of Global Entry is. However, you seem not to realize that TSA have explicitly stated that being a member of a trusted traveler program and entering that into your frequent flyer profile will increase your likelihood of being selected for TSA PreCheck. Thanks for the elementary lesson on the difference between CBP and TSA, though.

Well then why do i get Pre 100% of the time with my Pass ID in the reservation and 0% without it? Don't forget that GE card is also valid ID to travel domestically. Heck I've even been by a few merchants that its valid ID to buy booze.

A semantic battle.

1. The GE card itself has zippo to do with pre.
2. The # on the GE card (PASSID) has everything to do with pre.

If your PASSID is correctly entered in your profile for the itinerary on which you are flying, however your carrier does it, you are eligible for pre presumin that it's actually available at your checkpoint.

The GE card itself does not get you Pre. If you do not travel internationally, you can toss the card itself if you wish.
