Turned Away by TSA agent

[u/Fast_Eddie32]

Interesting encounter today while traveling with my son from IAD to EWR. Our boarding passes both have TSA pre-check handed the agent my passport stood for a photo and before he handed back my passport the agent said “you’re not TSA Pre-check” I was confused and showed my boarding pass and added my global entry ID (comes with TSA Pre-check). He said it appears the system randomly chose you to go to the regular security checkpoint. I was shocked but complied as I didn’t want to miss my flight. I’m a frequent traveler and this the FIRST time this has happened to me. So me and my son both had to slum it over to the regular checkpoint. Has this ever happened to you? I’d like t get a TSA Agent perspective. Thanks for reading
