Indeed.
They used to divert non pre check travelers to the pre check lane (I've been diverted before) but the article says they don't do that anymore.

That's the most frustrating part for me. Sending people through pre-check looked like a nice way for the TSA to save face, and minimize the hassle for the rest of us, without having to admit that most of their scanning procedures are a farce.
Now it's gone because they miss 95% of weapons that the auditors bring through. 95 percent! That means that, in the normal line, they're usually missing stuff. So what do they gain from stopping the free pre-check? Only saving face.
Argh.
