There was another discussion of it earlier this year.

I suspect that they're giving a lot more "random" access this summer, given the complaints of long TSA lines and firing of the guy in charge because of that. TSA had expected a lot more people to sign up for the PreCheck program.

On the opposite end of this, I have paid PreCheck, and on an earlier trip this year I got "randomly selected" for additional screening in both directions on the same trip. It was in the PreCheck line after going through the metal detector. They made me go through the full body scanner and hand inspected my carry-on luggage. They also made me wait quite a bit for the one person who does this screening.
