"What about the crash axe that is REQUIRED to be on the airplane, in the cockpit, before we can depart?"
Sirens whoop, SWAT bursts out of the ceiling. The pilot calmly states, "THIS crash axe and MY warm body needs to be in THAT airplane before we can move 1 foot. Deal with it."
I'd like to think it's true.

Project 100,000 was initiated in 1966 during the Viet Nam War to provide training and opportunity to the uneducated and poor. These persons were classified as “New Standards Men” (or the Moron Corps). This group included those unable to speak English, low aptitude, physical impairments and were referred to as McNamarah Soldiers … today's TSA.

That's not the way it works. They're trained and equipped to scan your boarding pass. TSA precheck status is embedded in it if the airline and airport are participants.

Current members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS programs are already eligible to participate in TSA Pre✓™ if they are flying on a participating airline at a participating airport. Those passengers need to place their PASS ID in the ‘Known Traveler Number’ field while booking their reservation. Interested passengers who are not eligible through their airline and are not already a member of a CBP Trusted Traveler program may still be able to opt-in to TSA Pre✓™ by applying for one of the CBP Trusted Traveler programs. To learn more visit: globalentry.gov.

let me clarify a point; when I went through ONT airport as a passenger, knowing they are/were not a pre-check airport, I still had to present an ID. I presented my Gov't issued ID( Global Entry) and the Folks did not know what it was. You'd think the TSA would have some schooling on what were the acceptable forms of Gov't ID.Especially since it was a card issued by one of their programs.
