> In some airports Clear with precheck raises the chances you’ll be directed into more favorable screening lanes where TSA are more relaxed, due to it being used exclusively by prechecks or crew. Clear itself isn't giving you access to Precheck, though. You are only allowed in the Precheck lane if you have Precheck. As I said above, the only thing Clear is doing (and claiming it does) is verify your identity so TSA doesn't have to. What lane you get sorted into is entirely based on what's available (ie. if the Clear lane you used feeds into Precheck or just regular screening) and whether you have Precheck or not. You can't get into Precheck using just clear and you'll be turned away if you don't have the Precheck status on your boarding pass. I have seen it happen at SeaTac.
