In MCO it is called "TSA Pre Chek". You must enter your Nexus # online when you checkin. (If in fact you checkin online) It will give you a much quicker lane to clear security.
This has been a source of great frustration to us when coming back from MCO. No matter when we enter the Nexus info - whether it's in our airline account or added at check-in or both - it never registers on the boarding pass which MUST state "TSA Pre-Chek" or you cannot go through that line. We've usually done the online check-in, then gone to the agent to have them reprint the boarding pass. Last week we used a kiosk since lines for the agents were long. Even though you have the option to use your Nexus card instead of passport at the kiosk, it never works. It just tells you to go to an agent. So we discovered (this is the case in Pearson too at the kiosks - who designed this???) that you use your passport first and when it asks about your TTN (trusted traveller number), THEN you enter your Nexus number and voila, you get TSA Pre-Chek on the boarding pass. Stupidly designed system. Still, given the lines we saw, it's well worth the hassle.
