Yeah my point was why don’t the make it more overt? I mean we’re talking about airports here. Airlines nickel and dime you more and more. I’m surprised airports wouldn’t just be open about. I mean there are already priority lanes and first class etc. Why hide the purpose of clear?

- Spooky23 3y agoI think there’s some sort of revenue share. At the end of the day, all they do is a IAL-2 in-person or online validation (not sure if they do that in all cases) of your drivers license. They the link that to a biometric, which may or may not also be IAL-2. Personally, I don’t get the point. I can pay for clear and avoid a line at Yankee stadium because they validated my drivers license and confirmed that I’m not a felon. If I am a felon, some dude looks at my backpack and I experience the same outcome. I worked with a few of these things during the pandemic. They are all vulnerable to frauds with online validation. If you care about that, the best option is something like Idemia with in-person validation.
- CogitoCogito 3y agoHoly shit! I didn’t realize Clear existed outside airports. So they are just some general purpose line cutting company? Presumably they track a shitton of information on people cutting lines, and both profit off of people paying them and the information they gather. I wish I’d could say that business getting a proposal to partner with Clear would tell them to take a hike, but I guess few American companies really have any integrity left.
