DaveZ,

Once again, I believe you are mistaken in your assumption.

This is NOT always the case although you PROBABLY will get TSA precheck approved MOST of the time.

This is how it was explained to both my husband and me by different interviewers during separate interviews.

The literature that arrived with our cards also says "....you may" and not 'you will' get precheck approval.

Again, as stated by a previous poster holding GE membership, he did NOT get TSA precheck approved on a recent trip though they did accommodate him willingly in the appropriate TSA precheck lane.

Not meaning to give you a hard time but subsequent travelers should not expect it and possibly be disappointed if it doesn't happen. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
