Last August I wrote about how the TSA was planning on tightening up Pre-Check, and limiting it to those who have enrolled in a Trusted Traveler Program (TSA Pre-Check, Global Entry, NEXUS, etc.). As I explained at the time, roughly 45% of domestic passengers were getting Pre-Check, despite only a small minority of them having actually signed up for a Trusted Traveler Program.
From a safety perspective I don't have an issue with that, since I tend to think taking off your shoes and jacket, and taking out your laptop and liquids, is more security theater than anything else.
That being said, from a passenger experience perspective it really pisses me off, since most of the passengers that were getting Pre-Check didn't get how it worked, so slowed down the line substantially.

Last week I posted the insane video of the NYPD officer who abusively went off on an Uber driver:
You've gotta love that virtually everyone is a cameraman nowadays thanks to smartphones, so the interaction was caught on tape. Within days the officer was identified and even demoted due to his actions.
On top of that, it looks like over the weekend he appeared on a local New York City station to issue an apology... or something like that:

The TSA is about to make big changes to PreCheck that may prevent you from getting expedited screening. You'll never believe why they're doing it, and what you might have to do to keep it.
