Clear Makes It Clear: Get Back In Line

Nothing says privilege like bypassing people standing in a long line, especially at a high stress terminus like an airport. That’s why Clear got $199 from 260,000 members interested in skating by security lines at 21 U.S. airports.

But those Clear customers are now SOL. According to the Washington Post, New York-based Verified Identity Pass ceased operations late Monday night and notified its members in an e-mail.
It says on its Web site, flyclear.com, that it was “unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor” and that it will not issue refunds, because of its financial condition.
