How to Better Clear Airport Security

By Brent Neenan


Since the disasters of September 11th 2001 security at airports has risen exceedingly. Agencies such as the TSA were shaped and measures such as "naked scanners" put into place to help counter such occurrences in the future. With increased security though also came longer lines and greater wait times to get to ones' destination. Fortunately with the introduction of a service known as Clear me, people could once again easily clear airport security with less trouble and shave time off their traveling.

Started in 2003 Clear Me was designed specifically to combat the hassles of modern day airport security. In utilizing the modern technology of biometric ID cards one can expect to shave off 20 to 30 minutes of travel time in total by presenting it at specific checkpoints. No longer is a Clear Me subscriber chained to waiting in line with the rest of the airport passengers.

Because this program is in fact a protection measure not everyone one can willy-nilly sign up for it. In order to qualify for the Clear services one must hand in to multiple security regulations. Once a possible client submits several Government-issued IDs, completes an iris and fingerprint scan and passes a LexisNexis background check they are certified to clear airport security as a Clear subscriber.

It's still debated whether or not Clear Me is a worthwhile service. The biggest concern is that it has already folded once in 2009. Though there are new investors reinvigorating the concept and honoring the memberships of 200,000 previous subscribers it's still a wonder whether or not Clear Me will last into the future.

The bottom line is that Clear Me is created to save time in an individual's travels and that's exactly what it does. Would you rather wait on line with a wide variety of of other drones or would you like to fly clear of airport security? The choice is clear. Clear Me is going to be the new way to trek for many years to come.
