Comment on CLEAR is a pox on America’s airportsparent

Comments

If you read my other comment, you can see we are 180° apart… or are we? I want a smooth path through a miserable situation, so I take the best option available.

There’s no way security lines are slow so-and-only-so that Clear may exist; slow seems inevitable.

How may I help bring about this world of line-free travel for all?

How is slow inevitable if companies like Clear can get rid of it?

Because they raise prices.

With base TSA, every American can go through with no extra charge

Clear and PreCheck cost extra. Clear especially

There wouldn’t be PS5 shortages if every PS5 cost $1000

I meant it seems inevitable if third-party/private solutions would not be allowed. It also seems possible a fast and efficient government solution could be developed. I don’t suppose I should hold my breath on that one, eh?

That said, I’ve noticed the lines at Global Entry are now often longer than regular ordinary passport control. Maybe put that management team on the pre-check situation.

Then you mean that a better policy would solve it, but a policy failure is inevitable. I think that's exactly what the previous poster meant: that the long lines are a result of a failed policy.

I want a smooth path through a miserable situation

I want this, too - I just want it for everyone!

The misery is unnecessary, because TSA screening is worthless.
