You still go through metal detectors with CLEAR and can still be singled out for additional security at that point? Its just a fast pass to the front of the line, like TSA Pre.

I have both and I've sometimes waited for CLEAR kiosks/agents to open up, and got impatient and went to TSA Pre, and vice versa.

edit: okay from the article it suggests at one point they did let you skip security completely with CLEAR.

As far as I know CLEAR has never allowed you to skip the actual security check.

- TSA Precheck is a different process to “regular” security. It is not getting to the front of the line at all.

- Clear does not allow you to bypass either regular security or TSA Precheck security, just to get to the front of the line.
