The TSA keeps saying the free version is being eliminated, that they were no longer putting it on boarding passes randomly. That hasn't been the case though, people still get it free
Maybe I have missed it here, but it seems the amount of people saying they have gotten free pre-check has dwindled recently. Hoping that is true.
I flew from PVD to MCO back in April. Ours was one of the last flights out as the roll the sidewalk up early in PVD for departures, something like 7p is the last departure. We have pre-check and went to the line and noticed it was the only security line open. There were a few people ahead at the kiosk and they said they could not belive they got pre-check for free. So needless to say I grumbled to myself a little. After their info was checked they got directed to the right and DW and I got directed to the left. We got the usual pre-check tratment and were done in no time. The others had to do the TSA aerobics but they were through quickly as there were not a lot if any people ahead of them. They were still remarking how they were so lucky they got pre-check after they passed through security when they sat near us at the bar. Needless to say my earlier grumble was now a laugh. All they needed to see was the sign and they were sure they had gotten pre-check and all that came with it when in reality they had gotten noting special except seeing a pre-check sign. Perception is everything.
