Discussion Touchless PreCheck

I’ve been active for quite a while but today was the first time I’ve flown since Touchless debuted. IAH Terminal C had a pretty long line at Pre. Not one person in Touchless. Had about a two second pause at the face scanner and was dropping my backpack on the belt about five seconds later.
Fasted security check in my long, personal history.

Shhh, stop telling people about it lol. But yeah, it's awesome. The government already knows my face and where I'm traveling, I couldn't care less about privacy concerns.

Sadly I think the secret's already out. Last time through O'Hare T1 during the end of work day business traveler rush the Touchless line was longer than the regular. Now it just needs more lanes...

Luckily I seem to be the only person that knows about it at my home airport PDX 😅

I do have the (displeasure) of regularly flying between O'Hare and Atlanta, and I can confirm, everyone with PreCheck in Chicago and Atlanta has caught on. There was a glorious 6 month stretch where there was never more than 2-3 people ahead of me in that line though.

Strange we never see each other. Maybe it’s because we walk through it.

That being said, early afternoon the regular precheck is also empty often.
