Oh my. Thank you for the information. It seems my usual tactic of looking sweet and harmless but pitiful has no chance. That does work at least a third of the time to get in the TSA Pre-Check line.
An aside. I used to think the TSA Pre-Check short line meant you had registered with the government providing background information to be investigated and therefore certified ahead of time as NOT being a terrorist. I looked up what it took to complete that process. It boiled down to paying a sum of money to the government who would then certify you as being Pre-Checked. It seemed logical to me that all terrorists would do this to be Pre-Checked.
Except for the poor terrorists of course.
