Free & Clear
Is the future of security transparent?
OK, that’s a bit dramatic, but seriously, does this sound like a fly-by-night (pun intended) solution to long lines at airport security? Clear is a service that prescreens travelers and allows them to get through security more quickly. It costs about $100, and is only accepted at specific airports (Newark Terminal B, anyone?).
Personally, I think this could easily be exploited in the wrong hands. And let’s not forget that the reason we stand in those long security lines is in the hopes of avoiding “exploitation” by them thar bad guys.
