Agree completely about the WN terminal at LGA. I'm racking my brain, but can't think of a worse WN gate area in their entire system, having experienced most of them. If I remember correctly, there is not a single place at LGA to even get a beer!

Back on topic... toomanybrooks, are you saying there is now PreCheck at the WN concourse at LGA? Oddly, it was not included on the list posted at southwest.com.

Me too, at upper left just above my name. I am CP-holder, not A-list. Did not receive email. At LGA right now on B Concourse. I was handed a red laminated card explaining that I only had to remove laptop and liquids and put in separate bin. Coat, shoes stayed on.
My Companion has the Pre on his BP, but did not get such a card, perhaps because he is a minor.
Took a photo of card, which I will upload when I get to a computer.

A modified version of PreCheck is now in use at MCI! While DL and WN (once they join) will be the only airlines with 'real PreCheck', the 3-stripe clerk I spoke to this morning confirmed that this will be used for the other airlines (AA/UA/US).
Laptop and liquids still have to come out, but everything else can stay on.

Will upload tomorrow. Going to bed, too tired. Arrived 5.5 hours late. Took some insanely long route through Canada to travel LGA-MDW.

I joined GE through AA but have some flts on WN coming up. I see that my WN profile shows a place to enter a Known Traveler number but when I put mine in and hit update it stays empty.
Do I need to be invited by WN? I have 0 status with them.

GE is a CBP program, not an AA program, so you're going to have to explain what you mean when you say you "joined GE through AA."

I've got the same problem as the OP though. Trying to put my TT number in the field and hitting update results in a TT field that is still blank
Edit:
Logged out and back in and the field is filled in now. Seems like a small website bug.

Quick Question:
I have Global Entry, and no status with Southwest.
When I go and enter my number in the Known Traveler Field of the Southwest Profile, it doesn't show any numbers after I hit update. Am I doing something wrong? I think it's strange that it gives me no errors and nothing shows up.
Thanks in advance!!

The TSA Pre card handed me at LGA yesterday (lousy iPhone photo; not sure I was even allowed to take this):
Concourse B at LGA is pretty small; it only goes to B8. There were 2 BP-checking TSA agents in the hall. One checked me and handed me this card and told me to give it to the agent inside. I then went through one of two unmarked lanes. I was not paying that much attention, but as I recall there were 2 scanning belts and one walk-through person-scanner between (not the type where you hold your hands over your head). Sorry, not sure of exact terminology.
Card instructs you to take out laptop and liquids and nothing else. No need to remove coat, pocket contents, shoes, etc.
Walked through, handed card to the guy, proceeded.
To recap:
1. I am WN CP-holder. Not A-List. Did not apply for TSA Pre or get the email. Don't have Global Entry or any of those other statuses.
2. My Companion (16 years old, not A-List) did not get this card, even though TSA Pre was printed on his BP. He went though security separate from me.
3. My wife (not CP, not A-List, separate PNR as usual) naturally did not get TSA Pre. Not sure if she would have if on same PNR.

Pretty sure the OP means that AA paid for their GE membership fee due to status.
I've got the same problem as the OP though. Trying to put my TT number in the field and hitting update results in a TT field that is still blank
