Sounds to me like managed inclusion as you've described.

This email has just gone out. Looking at other threads, it appears the TSA has been doing this unofficially, or as a trial, for a while, but at least it clarifies some recent experiences. And gives another reason for being part of Global Entry. I've heard unofficially that more UK passport holders will be allowed to join later in 2014, though I have no dates or numbers. It also makes it clear that alien citizens can use TSA Precheck, my Global Entry is based on a UK passport. My bolding.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is partnering with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the TSA Pre✓™ program. TSA Pre✓™ allows eligible passengers to qualify for expedited screening at participating U.S. airports with participating airlines. We are pleased to announce that TSA has extended TSA Pre✓™ eligibility to additional Global Entry program members and you are receiving this email because you have been identified as a Global Entry member who is eligible for TSA Pre✓™.
If TSA determines a passenger is eligible for expedited screening through TSA Pre✓™, the TSA Pre✓™ logo will print on the boarding pass and passengers may be referred to the TSA Pre✓™ lane where they will undergo expedited screening. This may include no longer removing shoes, light outerwear and belts and allowing laptops to remain in their cases and 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bags in their carry-ons.
Global Entry members interested in participating in TSA Pre✓™ must enter their PASS ID into the “Known Traveler” field when booking a flight reservation or saving their PASS ID to their airline’s frequent flyer profile under the field marked “Known Traveler Number” (KTN). The airlines refer to the PASS ID as the “Known Traveler Number”. Members can find their PASS ID online through their Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) account. If passengers are experiencing difficulties applying their PASS ID, more information can be found at tsa.gov, or at the participating airlines website.
When traveling on one of the TSA Pre✓™ participating airlines, CBP Trusted Traveler members should remember to provide the airline with their full name, date of birth and PASS ID/KTN exactly as it appears in their GOES account to ensure they are properly considered for TSA Pre✓™.
It is important to note that a passenger will only receive TSA Pre✓™ access when traveling on a participating airline. To date, the following airlines are participating in TSA Pre✓™:
• Alaska Airlines
• American Airlines
• Delta Air Lines
• Hawaiian Airlines
• JetBlue Airways
• Southwest Airlines
• United Airlines
• US Airways
• Virgin America
TSA Pre✓™ is available at over 100 airports across the United States.

Interesting, haven't received that yet. Since i get it under my AA number (that i no longer use) you would think they would, but hey ho, no more travel in the near future for me.

I received this email yesterday. I have had my GE number in my AA profile a while now and got TSA Pre on all my AA boarding passes so far this year.

The problem now is that, whilst having been offered TSAPre with GE, I have to change my AA Tier Point runs to credit to AA, so I can have Pre. But then I will need to change them back at the gate to get BA credit. Ho Hum.

I've not needed to do that. I've always had my BAEC number on my bookings, and when on AA flights, I get TSA Pre-Check stamped on my BPs.

Can't you add your known traveller number ot the booking instead? Not tried on AA, but this is how it works on my VX bookings.

Lots of GE kiosks available at EWR earlier this week, worked like a dream. Colleagues in the normal non-US queue took nearly an hour to get through. I also had TSApre for my UA connection at EWR and then again out of PIT on the way home yesterday. No issue with UK passport at either lane. Transatlantic travel has become much easier. Great scheme. ^

Or maybe they'll get worse. Under the current implementation Americans with Leave to Remain in the UK are banned from registering for the UK Registered Traveller scheme. Totally stupid on all counts - people who have demonstrated their commitment to the UK having passed exams and interviews are discriminated against in favour of occasional visitors. It makes absolutely zero sense. When the scheme becomes "official" in April, I doubt that they will change this.
What absolute nonsense. With such lack of logic it's no wonder the US is reacting unfavourably.

I don't think so. epassport works fine, don't have to verify anything or fill in an electronic customs form. Why do you say that? Or have I just been lucky with getting back into the UK ?

Absolutely, I have said this myself on a number of occasions. I can be through security and customs in any US airport in around 10 mins from the doors opening. The LHR experience nearly always takes 30-40 mins even when the ePassport gates are working/staffed/ have a queue under 300 people.

Ditto - the only upside to connecting from the regions is that the Fast Track queue for immigration on domestic connections is normally pretty quick - sadly it's then followed by having to re-clear security!!
No email from CBP for me despite having GE and received email updates from them before.
