Fly Clear


If you are tired of waiting in lines at the airport, this is your speed pass. It's called Fly Clear and it supposedly pre-qualifies or pre-screens you so that you can zip through security versus waiting in a big, long, winding line of people. There's a little kiosk where you use the card, verify your fingerprint, and deposit your vial of blood (kidding on the last one). Now you will have more time to spend looking at overpriced gifts, paying ridiculous prices for nasty food, and generally enjoying more time looking at panicked travelers. Sounds like fun! 

From their website: 
Clear® is the fast pass for airport security. Clear members are pre-screened and provided with a high-tech card which allows them to access designated airport security fast lanes nationwide. Clear members pass through airport security faster, with more predictability and less hassle.

Clear's first year price is $100 plus the TSA vetting fee of $28 for a total charge of $128.

The list of airports is still growing, but you can click here to see what airports are currently using this system.
