Has anyone tried Clear?

    Every time I get stuck in line at security I always see those smug signs for Clear that promise to speed you through airport security if you pay their fees and submit to a background check. While I wouldn't mind the special treatment, I wonder if anyone who has tried it actually has anything good to say about it. Whether it's worth the fees and everything else that's associated with setting it up and maintaining it. If you have, I'm curious to know what you think of it.

    As I live near Orlando I use Clear on all my outbound flights. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use it on inbounds. It's very fast and since members are precleared the inspection moves swiftly and smoothly. It's well worth the money!

    I wonder if they make you remove your shoes when you use Clear. That's one of the things I hate most about airport security. With everyone removing their shoes and walking barefoot in the same place, that's got to be a health hazard of some kind. And yet, the TSA forces you to do it.

    Anyone else notice that when you go through regular security in Paris they give you little foot baggies to protect your feet? I love that. Why can't they do that everywhere?

    I live in Cincinnati which is a Clear city. You do still have to take off your shoes but supposedly they are working to get new equipement approved by the TSA that would not require removal of shoes, coats, or computers... Not there yet ;^( However, when lines are long, this service is SOOOO worth it!!! After getting ID assessed and biometricly approved, they carry your luggage for you right to the front of the line. It makes traveling so much more convenient. At about $100/year, its worth it to me.
