I'm sure I'll get a partial refund for the time I'm unable to offset my benefits. Right, right?

Tangentially related, the only difference I've seen between the regular line and pre-check is how quickly I can get through. And that's entirely because there are far fewer people in the pre-check line, and they have a higher ratio of agents to passengers. The process is the exact same for both lines.
