Do you have to use a body scanner in TSA Pre Check lines?

You do not have to use the body scanner for TSA Pre-Check. Most of the time they don’t even have the body scanner in that line.
And when I go to an airport that doesn’t have a separate TSA pre-check line, like LGA in NY, they give you a card that says TSA pre-check and they send you through the metal detector. Even if you don’t have pre-check you can opt not to go through the scanner, but then they pat you down.
If you don’t have it and are thinking about getting it I highly recommend it. Don’t have to take your shoes off or anything. So much easier. Like the old days of traveling.
As a side note, when you think about it, you can’t go through the body scanner if you have pre-check, because you have your shoes on and possibly things in your pockets so the body scan will always fail.
