Clear Led a Flyer Carrying Ammo Under a False Name to TSA, Sparking Probe

Being a trusted traveler with global entry, I loathe clear with a passion. It means 2 metres from the TSA checkpoint I have to let a family of six randos cut the precheck line I was told to stand in and wait while they fumble for their ID and juggle their shoes.

Just roll them to the back of the line and stop acting like the fact that they surrendered s generation of biometric data to a startup entitles them to anything more than equality.

I’m the type of guy who runs a pihole and types in 867-5309 as my shoppers club lookup at the supermarket checkout, but I have never more gladly traded a little privacy for time than when purchasing Clear. I would have given them a stool sample if it meant never having to wait in security theater line at the airport.

Clear puts them in front of the general line. if you have ge won't you be in the precheck line? unless they have clear + precheck. but i guess this varies by airport too.

Maybe it varies by airport. FWIW, I also see them ushered in front of the pre check line.
