Quoting ogre727 (Thread starter): It was only on the way back to Engalnd. |
Quoting aklrno (Reply 2): Before pre-clear was a program you applied and paid for it was something that the airline could grant randomly usually based on your frequent flyer profile. When the current program went into effect the FF based program was reduced, but not eliminated. |
Quoting Aeroflot001 (Reply 3): A part of me hopes that it becomes eliminated entirely for non-members, since unfortunately sometimes people who are given pre-check randomly are unfamiliar with the system. Many begin to take off their shoes and computers out of the bags anyways in confusion, which ends up slowing the line down. I've seen it happen at MIA time and time again. Once there was an older couple directly ahead of me in the pre-check line and they began to take everything out and off, I kindly told them that in this line they didn't have to but they didn't believe me until a TSA agent came up and told them twice to stop taking off their shoes and jackets. |
Quoting copter808 (Reply 4): If frequent flier members are randomly granted Pre-Check access without going through the background investigation, It completely invalidates the entire program. |
Quoting 1g (Reply 5): Same thing happened to me on a flight from LGA to DFW on AA. I'm not even an American citizen and had never flown with AA up until that point. I still have no idea what I was granted precheck. |
