Security depends on the country/airport you’re coming from. I know they have US security in certain international airports (LHR, EDI, etc)..which helps with that. I just got back from Caymans on the 5th and had to go through TSA after the CBP guy scanned my mobile-passport code and there was no TSA pre-check. I have Global Entry, TSA pre-check and did the mobile-passport. At CBP I was in the same line as the global-entry folks, I just didnt have to wait at the kiosk. Which didnt help anything really because ATL closed for a bit due to a storm and we couldn’t collect our bags for an hour anyway.
