Leave on shoes and light jackets through security checkpoints.
Undergo an additional pass through Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) to clear any anomalies detected during screening.

I haven't seen a lot of seniors in the line I'm just struck by how few people actually use it. But then my idea of a senior keeps getting older and older.
Another idea just struck me, Perhaps this is a graceful way fro TSA to reduce some of their stupidity. They simply make everyone eligible for pre-check who has flown more than 5 time in their life, and isn't otherwise suspicious or unknown.

So it's actually at what I refer to as the "Old C" on the mezzanine above and south of baggage claim (not to be confused with the "Newer C/B" at the top of the escalators at the far south end of the tickie counters)?

That actually makes some sense. The TSA rules for people over 75 allow them not to take off their shoes or jackets.

How does that make sense?
The post was about people holding up the PreCheck line taking off shoes, and you mentioned seniors, who don't have to take off their shoes as a possible reason for the holdup.

There is a big discussion on this in the DL precheck forum, a week or so ago, boarding passes with the precheck symbol are now being given out to people who aren't elites and/or have precheck. It seems like a lot of seniors are getting the precheck symbol on their boarding passes and have no clue as to how the process works.

Let's all submit our inquiries about this. I just recently started using TSA Pre and it is a world of difference. Instead of the potential terrorist you become 'one of us'. I have a choice of using BWI or DCA and this is really going to influence my choice. This together with lounges in both airports that Southwest has no equivalent for. I just emailed WN about participation in TSA Pre.

Huh? No elite level member has ever committed a huge terrorist attack. Members of the military have. However, only a few are jihadists, like at Forth Hood and throwing a grenade in a tent during the Gulf War.

Flying out of SEA on Saturday, the TSA Agent manning the elite line was instructing various WN A-Listers to the TSA Pre line, I spoke with a TSA Manager after clearing and he said he was told that WN Participation would be live before December, Great news if it's true.

It seems as if TSA is messing with the Pre-Check procedure at several airports. It may not be as great as we thought just as we finally are seeing light at the end of the approval tunnel.

Of course, PreCheck means no nudoscope, so I'll wait the extra five min.
