I had an opportunity to use PreCheck at O'Hare today. I was able to walk up to agent, hand her my boarding pass and my NEXUS card, and walk right up to the xray. For the first time since 9/11/2001, I haven't had to unpack my computer bag to have its contents xrayed. I was able to use the backscatter Xray machine for me, as I have a metal hip, so the entire in and out of the TSA gate was done in under 3 minutes. Flying might actually become bearable.
