The Most Under Utilized TSA Pre-Check
 

PIT

I've been through the Pre-Check line at PIT on 15 different occasions since it opened in October 2012. I've been the only person in line each time.

Well, it is more important how many people are waiting in the other lines.. ;)

It is quite unused - I breezed through last Sunday, never seeing anyone in line from the top of the escalator until I was on the train. I don't recall ever having a wait, and only a person or two ahead or behind me.

Having said that, my returns from LGA and DFW were equally empty. In fact, the only place I ever remember not walking directly to the front was at LAS, and that was behind one couple that was just wrapping up.

Don't spread the word - you'll ruin it.

(the PIT normal and preferred lines are always packed - at least when I'm there)

It was 20 minutes for me to clear precheck at IAD a couple of weeks ago. Somewhere between 40 and 60 people in line. LAX was very quick, though.

I have gone PRE twice at IAD in the last three weeks. Both times on a Saturday around 10:00 a.m., and I was the only customer each time. I was surprised.

At LAX (T6), I was told that I was the only person to use the checkpoint in four hours. Perhaps it was because I had and endless battle with the "Maroon Coat" that I did have access to PreCheck. I think he was under the impression that it was an employee line.

I joked with the TSA staff and asked if they wanted me to go through a few times with different outfits. They said, "Only if you bring doughnuts." Fair enough.

LAX T6, never more than 3 people in line there in my experience.

I've been the only person at LAX T6 every time except once. That time there was one guy in front of me and he wound up getting selected for a pat down.

BOS A is on the empty side too. I've never had more than one person in front of me there. I wish they had it at C.

Isn't that the same for the regular lines? Does anyone fly out of PITT anymore?

It's so quiet either because passengers are unaware that they can use Pre-Check, AirServ employees are wrongly turning away eligible pax, or pax just don't know where to find Pre-Check. Over the next several months, I predict Pre-Check will grow.

Try going through the line in DEN, ORD, SFO, LGA, etc. Have seen twenty people going through Pre-Check in DEN at one time.

There's PreCheck at LAX T6? I've gone through plenty of times at T5 and T7, but I've never seen signs for it at T6?

This is news to me as well... I will gladly stop going through T5 if this is true:)

At more than a few airports not all checkpoints support Pre-Check. At DFW it is hidden away in a corner and is not obvious. You have to ask where it is.

DCA - no line (no people) in either B or C pier each time I've used it.
