I dont travel every often, but the few times I have Pre-Check has always been longer or equal to normal check..
One time I was in a mid sized city airport, there was like 30 people in PreFlight Line, and 20 in the Normal line, I got through the initial ID Checkpoint faster with no precheck. lol
Global Citizen may be worth it, but I only travel international about 1 time per year so...
My backpack has two computers (work and personal), an iPad, a portable USB C monitor, a keyboard and a mouse depending on the airport without PreCheck, I have to take everything out and put it in separate bins
Not to mention taking my shoes and belt off.
With precheck, I just dump everything in my pockets into a back pocket of my backpack and go through.
Not to mention with Clear I even skip the precheck line and get go security faster.
The airport in the city I fly out of have the upgraded scanners, nothing comes out of the bag any more. You do still have to take your shoes off though
As more and more airports upgrade to the new scanners I see less and less of having to remove Electronics into separate bins.
Even at aiports with the old scanners I have never removed mouse to go through security... and rarely do i do separate bins, 1 Bin for my Shoes, Belts, Jacket etc, 1 Bin for my Electronics, Laptop, Cell, SteamDeck, and Tablet all go in 1 bin, never had a problem
