Exactly one week after going thru KCM in street clothes unscathed, I attempted to repeat that today in MEM. Standard card scan, 2nd form of ID check and he waits for the system to finish doing its thing for 10 seconds. “You’re good.......
Pleasantly surprised I start to put away my ID when he finishes his sentence:
........but we’re sending non-uniformed KCM through TSA pre-check...new policy”
Turns to another TSA genius and yells over the heads of everyone in line to verify that’s what they’re doing now..... confirmed by random colleague.
I say, I should have just gone to pre-check in the first place than waste my time and yours doing this.
TSA pre-check, beep on first attempt
Now “randomly” selected to go thru the back-scatter full body zapper. Leave my belt on since I’m out of practice which earns me a 360 waist check along the inside of my pants.

“Have a nice day”. GFY would have worked nicely but I kept it inside.
