The whole idea of FlyClear disturbed me. On the one hand, getting through airports quicker sounds like a great idea. But what sort of message does it send? That you can either suffer through a crappy process, or give up tons of privacy? Do people start looking past the problems with TSA because the norm is to submit yourself to fingerprinting and eye scans?
All in all, I'm quite happy to see Clear go under. Now, the frequent flyers can continue to put pressure on the lunacy of the TSA security process.

Bruce Schneier's words: I think of Clear as a $100 service that tells terrorists if the F.B.I. is on to them or not. Why in the world would we provide terrorists with this ability? http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/01/clear_registere.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/01/clear_register...
