We were on (a non-Disney) vacation last week, just returned yesterday. Our return flight home originated at Boston's Logan Airport, and we were surprised when we were hustled to a short, fast security line. We didn't have to take any electronics out of our bags (including a laptop), we didn't have to take our baggie with our liquids out of our carryons, and we were able to leave our shoes on. My husband did have his hands swiped and tested for whatever it is they test for (bomb residue?), but they didn't do mine. They did select one of our bags to a random check, but it was my six year old's backpack, which they looked in for approximately 2.3 seconds. It was nice, but very odd and very rushed...we were through security in under 5 minutes, literally.
Subsequent Googling has revealed that we apparently got selected to be in the TSA's "Managed Inclusion" program, where they select low-risk passengers for the expedited screening that people in the Pre-Check program get. I'm just wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and what your experience was like. To me, it felt very rushed and not thorough at all, but what do I know. They're supposed to select people based on behavior, but I can tell you were were acting like total nutjobs (only 2 hours of sleep, a two hour drive to the airport for an early morning flight, and we also left a bag behind on the rental car shuttle so we'd been running around Logan tracking the bag down for the previous 30 minutes) so I'm not sure why they picked us at all. LOL.
