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]

Because it offends basic elementary school rules- nobody likes a line cutter.[/quote]

When was the last time you went to an amusement park like Disney World? This is a well established practice.[/quote]

You are not lining up at Disneyworld for a government-run and -mandated security check. That’s the difference.[/quote]

The CA government allows a lot of people to cut corners, such as making an appointment in advance at the DMV. Not everyone has internet access to be able to do that. And nobody is forcing you to travel by air, you're free to take other modes of transportation if "line cutting" is so galling.

Or you are free to pay for clear (or get a CC that gives you free clear access/pays for it for you).

It's also annoying to stand at TSA pre and get cutoff by 20 flight attendants going trhu for their flight.  It happens all the time.  They get priority because they are "employees"---there is no separate area for just employees, typically....it's just a TSA pre area, often one that also has clear.

You do understand that the flight attendants have a legitimate business reason to move to the front of the line, right? This isn't the same thing at all. [/quote]
