I've been reluctant to get precheck because I hate to give up my fingerprints. There have been a few infamous mistakes where they messed up like the Oregon lawyer thought to be involved with the Spanish train bombers. Being in software, I know many immigrants to the us and they all have precheck and the border check version - while me and many of my natural born citizens don't have it, at least partly for that reason of fingerprints. I solved that problem for now by not flying during covid ;-) Am I unnecessarily paranoid? Probably.

Applying for a US work visa or residency involves writing down so much about yourself (inc. getting fingerprints), that pre-check afterwards feels like just re-providing a subset of the same paperwork
