    I just applied for a "Clear" card. It bypasses regular security lanes and is now extending service in the airports I use most--JFK 2&3, LGA, ATL and CVG3. Once you present the card, a concierge moves your stuff thru for you (I like that part!!) and you're clear and on your way...

    It's not cheap but may be a good solution for those who fly alot and don't have employee passes/badges. One year is $128 but if you use the referral code DSCAM12020446 on your initial application you get an extra month.

    I linked thru Delta.com for 1000 Skymiles, too!

    I don't know about this, seems they've already had a security breach Missing "Clear" laptop found

    I love this-
    "According to a TSA spokesman, the information on the (missing) laptop did not pose a threat to airports"

    "It's not so much a security issue as a violation of personal informatiion", said TSA spokesman Nico Melendez

    "Beer (Verified Identity Pass Inc. spokeman) called the fact that the personal information itself was not encrypted "a mistake" that the company would fix." --Well I certainly hope so.

    I [was] a FlyClear subscriber with a membership due to expire Dec 2011. Granted, I only paid for one year at + vetting fee and I've almost gotten my year out of it. I had so many complaints--like ATL was 'sposed to open last May, and they got set up end Oct. JFK had only one lane in the wrong terminal for me and so on and on and on... I got 3 months extended several times as a concession and then I got a free year from Hyatt Gold Passport. I did get my 1000 Skymiles whne I signed up (when I complained I hadn't been given them after 6 months wait) I had 3 complimentary trial memberships to give away but no one I knew would need it.
    Guess I won't need it any more....

    Hmmm...Mrs767er - if you end up with some complimentary trial memberships again let me know! The idea of this program really seems great, but Atlanta security folks have always been incredibly kind to me when they see I'm traveling alone with a stroller and two little boys. I would just go to the stroller line and wave, and they'd immediately take me to the front of the line and help me contain the kids while removing all shoes, etc. Now that we've completely grown out of the stroller, I dread overnighting in ATL and trying to brave the security lines!
