How to Flyclear of Airport Security Today

By Brent Neenan


When Clear Me was created in 2003 the idea behind it was to basically reduce wait times and long lines at airports. After the events of 9/11 there became a nationwide move to increase airport security to help avoid such tragedies from happening again. Departments such as the TSA were created and advanced "naked" scanners were put into use. Traveling by air though became a risky hassle and so Clear Me was created to maintain security while reducing the problems with longer lines and greater wait times.

Because Clear Me is considered to be an additional security feature it isn't so easy for just anyone to sign up for it. In order to become a client an individual must supply several pieces of vital information. These pieces of information include supplying multiple forms of government ID, passing a LexisNexis background check and submitting to a fingerprint and iris scan. Once all of the criteria has, been fulfilled the member then becomes eligible to flyclear of specific airport checkpoints.

What Clear Me brings to the table is through the use of biometric ID cards the ability to confirm the passenger's identity. After the card is presented at specified checkpoints the traveler can expect to see a 30 minutes reduction in travel time. Although the potentiality of the services appears promising the company went under in 2009. People still argue whether or not the service costing $200 a year is worth the payoff.

Clear Me was officially started way back in 2003 and as stated before went out of business even with 200,000 subscribers. New investors have now picked the idea up again and pushing for the service to be available around the country for a second time. The hope is that if they can honor the previous memberships Clear Me should be able to exceed the expectations of naysayers and skeptics.

Irrespective what the future holds for Clear Me services, it's evident that it offers a double purpose. It helps to preserve the integrity of security at airports while creating a more effective way to run the security process. Don't be a fool and pretend you enjoy standing in security lines reflect on Clear Me so you too can fly clear of the tedious lines at the airport.
