[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equal access to a government security line- that’s socialism [/quote]

It’s not about “equal access” because it has nothing to do with banning/abolishing Precheck, which by its very nature isn’t “equal”. Clear is a private company that gets you past even Precheck.

And even this bill doesn’t abolish Clear, it’s asking that they get their own line in order to keep operating, not cutting in front of other pax in the TSA lines. I see no problem here.

I’m a frequent flyer for work and my whole family has Global Entry/Precheck but we’ve never sprung for Clear. I was just somewhere, can’t remember where, in the Precheck line close to the front and then had to wait for a Clear pax, who had priority and got in front of me. Then another. Then another. Then another. Just when I would think it would be me, another person would come up, probably a dozen, at least. I see no problem with a private company having to pay for their own line, considering they make money from it.[/quote]

A line though a government line for people who can pay a third party usher them through is ridiculous. [/quote]

Why? I genuinely don’t understand why people want to ban it. [/quote]
+1 Same philosophy as paying a toll for the express lanes.[/quote]

Because of the way Clear people are literally escorted to the front of the line, it offends a sense of fairness. If it were a totally separate area it wouldn't be as obvious and people wouldn't react so negatively.[/quote]

How is that any different than a toll road? I mean they are paying for it? 🤷‍♀️

I guess I’m somewhat biased in that the only person I’ve ever heard complain about the existence of Clear in real life is an absolute unhinged lunatic. But seriously, I can’t figure out why people want to ban a reasonable paid service. [/quote]
