Pre-Check at BOS: closed from 8am to 3pm?
Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere; I searched this subforum but couldn't find any relevant discussion.
I'm moving from SFO back to my beloved BOS in a couple of weeks, and I was surprised to discover that TSA Pre-Check in Terminal C @ BOS is only open from 4am to 8am and again from 3pm to 6pm. For some unfathomable reason it's closed during the busiest hours of the day.

Can anyone shed any light on the rationale? It's bad enough that BOS doesn't have Clear, which I've come to love given its ubiquity at SFO, but this seems like a bad joke.

That webpage is poorly updated. The same airport now has Precheck at Terminal B (US Airways side - down by the Shuttle) although it isn't listed at all. Don't assume the info here is current.

I guess I'm also curious why they ever set it up that way in the first place.

I've never had any problems at the C terminal, although I've also never been there at 4am!
When do you move back and where are you moving to? First drink's on me.

Many thanks for the warm welcome. I'm back as of March 1 to work as Director of Product at a software company. Living in Porter Square, my old haunt.
I've had pretty good experiences the past few weeks as a UA frequent flyer at BOS: Terminal C contains the only United Club in all of humanity that provides Sam Adams free of charge! I'm disappointed that Clear isn't available at BOS yet, but maybe I'll hold onto my membership for another year in the hope that they expand.
