As above, I was simply stating/relating my similar (pre-Global Entry) observations to the initial poster I quoted. See the above post for further clarification.
I am aware of the differences between TSA PreCheck/GE and "normal security" protocols (alluded to that in the post you quoted).
The question/curiosity (and resultant supposition regarding agent discretion) is in regards to the inconsistency of enforcing the "normal security" minimum standards, absent of a PreCheck upgrade and/or bomb dogs.
Sorry if bringing up that question is "overcomplicating" things.
