I like the setup for it at SFO. Dedicated pre-check line that (as long as people aren't sneaking in) should ensure a short wait. Time for me to dump Clear!

I'm not sure but I don't think that will do it. I think for already booked travel the trusted traveler number needs to be added in manually to those reservations. Even then it may or may not work, depending on whether the reservation already went through the TSA vetting process.

well I was at SFO at 6pm yesterday, went through the priority line like usual, and got the 3 beeps that mean I am pre check. She told me to go to the regular line. I was so bummed. I asked where I go for pre check, and she says the lane was closed. I asked when it was open. She said she has never seen it open this late.
soooo....it looks like if you fly in the late afternoon/evening you can forget about enjoying precheck. What a bust.

Once they see more volume, I am sure they will start keeping pre check lines open later.

SFO Hours
Just went thru security at T2 in SFO. Got the three beeps but PreCheck line was cordoned off. The guy checking the ID has said that he starts work at 6pm and never has seen that line in operation. I doubt he even knows what the three beeps mean.
After going thru the machine, I asked another agent about the hours and she said that the Precheck line closes at 5PM.

I've been flying weekly between DFW and SFO. At DFW (admittedly on Fridays) I would say every 3rd or 4th person gets the triple beep - mostly Delta people I think. At SFO I've never seen anyone else using pre-check. I'm surprised that VX doesn't have more of a campaign to encourage people to sign up for Global Entry.
On another note, please please open pre-check at LAX T3. What a mess.
