Got the 3 beeps with my mobile BP yesterday at ORD Terminal 1, but I went through Premier Security that didn't have a PreCheck line. Sooo.... fail.

Heads up.
Oct 21 is the scheduled move date.
Here's the official word on the lane move from today's Alaska Airlines Insider:
Seattle's PreCheck Lane
Now Located at the Central Checkpoint
Just a note that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be moving the PreCheck lane from the North checkpoint to the Central checkpoint at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Look for airport signage that will guide you to the Central checkpoint PreCheck lane.

Answering my own questions:
1) Does having a PASSID but not final GOES interview work? YES
2) Can you do it with LH issued ticket and domestic leg of RTW ticket? YES

Going through HNL this morning, I noticed some dividing walls up at the UA TSA check point. Looks like they have cleared a lane on the right hand side. No scanners at the check point though. (My wife is still getting no love from the TSA, no 3 on her boarding pass)
Good luck to those who can use it in the next few weeks!

PIT is now online. You can find the Pre-Check lane at the main checkpoint.

Someone clarify. If I have a BP for DEN-SEA then can I use precheck in DEN or will the system see that I have a connection to NRT and disqualify me?
I will at least give it a shot.

You should be disqualified in that case because of your international connection..but if you're not please report back.

Ok, thanks. Although at DCA yesterday I could skip the huge lines (both elite and regular) just by saying that I was pre-check. They ran the BP at the end of the line. So next step was either left for pre-check X-ray or straight ahead for regular pax like being at the front of the elite line.
I thought my RTW ticket would not be eligible since the "itinerary" involves international but this was domestic with stopover so works fine.
It's idiotic to exclude international flights.

I engaged a JFK T8 TSA agent about this (very friendly and seemed smart, so was worth it to chat for a minute while the lines were full). He basically said "we'd love to, but we need the other countries to participate". I didn't want to argue, but I don't understand the relevance of where you're traveling to...it's if you pass muster with the TSA in the USA.
Anyone else have any idea why no love on int'l trips?

Now with precheck you haven't taken out your laptop and therefore do not meet the Euro screening criteria............
But I would rather sacrifice this effectively non-existent "benefit" of having gone thru regular TSA in US. I don't see European airports being reconfigured to accommodate "sterile" US pax. And I would rather suffer security in Europe than regular TSA!
