It's my understanding that the people who do "pre-check" go through the same security checks at the airport as everybody else, they're just allowed to cut to the front of the line.

Here's one description What is TSA PreCheck and what does it do? TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that allows travelers to go through an expedited security screening process for domestic and some international flights. At participating airports, TSA PreCheck will have a dedicated security line that is typically faster and simpler than standard lines. In these lines, travelers can expect to keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and will not have to remove their laptops or liquids from their carry-ons. How to apply for TSA PreCheck You can apply for TSA PreCheck online in about five minutes, and then you’ll need to schedule an in-person appointment at an enrollment center, which can be found at a variety of locations, including airports, Staples stores, and a growing number of IdentoGo enrollment outposts. Expect to spend about 10 minutes at the appointment, which will include fingerprinting for a background check. Once you’re approved for TSA PreCheck, you’ll get a Known Traveler Number. www.afar.com/magazine/everything-you-need-to-know-about-tsa-precheck |

It's good to have if you travel a lot, but I still get a lot of "random" checks even with precheck.
But yes it is all theater

I have it. You go to a different screening area and they still run your bags through the machine and you have to go through the machine yourself. You just get to keep your shoes on. They do a super background check on you when you sign up as well.
Even going through precheck I’ll often get an extra search from the security and literally every time that I come back into America they pull my stuff aside for an extra search at the departure airport. 😂
if they were truly serious about security though then half of the people that work the screening areas wouldn’t be working the screening areas.
