I don't know if you quite understand how it works. You pay to be a member, and in exchange, they will do a background check, take your fingerprints and do a retina scan. This gives you the privileged of taking a separate security line at the airports, but a security line nonetheless. Everyone still goes through the metal detector, and your bags still pass through the x-ray machine.

like if taking your bios can prevent you from getting in with a bomb
Jan 17, 2009. 10:40 AMWeissensteinburg says:
Did you not read what I said? The only difference is you go through a different line. You still get the exact same amount of security scrutiny.
Jan 17, 2009. 11:42 AM11010010110 says:
the most imporant scans are still done. but if the line is shorter it means that some other checks are skipped does bios check justify skipping other checks ? if yes than they are not required and not needed in any of the lines
Jan 17, 2009. 1:02 PMWeissensteinburg says:
No. The line is shorter because less people have access to it. You are submitted to the same checks, and often you go through the same station as everyone else, but get to skip in line.
Jan 17, 2009. 1:16 PM11010010110 says:
then whats the point in bios checks ?
Jan 17, 2009. 1:18 PMWeissensteinburg says:
They're more reliable than IDs
Jan 17, 2009. 2:24 PM11010010110 says:
so ?
Jan 17, 2009. 2:29 PMWeissensteinburg says:
So the fingerprints and retina scan are just to make sure you are who you say you are. They are significantly harder to forge than a card.
Jan 17, 2009. 3:13 PM11010010110 says:
if they are realy needed - why not all do them if they are not - why should anyone do them
Jan 17, 2009. 3:54 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Have you not listened to anything I said?

They go through all the security percautions that everyone else does.

The pilot of an airplane gets checked, too, but he gets to go through a different line. That makes it faster. Clear members get to go through a different line, too.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:16 PMtech-king says:
they do? from what ive seen, the pilot shows his id card to the guard who then opens a gate and lets the pilot through.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:19 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Everybody has to go through security. I once went through the staff line, and before my bags, they had cases of coin rolls going through the x-ray machine.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:01 PM11010010110 says:
so clean line is just an inappropriate name to something that shoud be called fast line
Jan 17, 2009. 4:16 PMWeissensteinburg says:
It's called Clear because of all the additional screening that is done during the application process.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:27 PM11010010110 says:
if you did not bring a bomb to the application you are less likely to be a terrorist
Jan 17, 2009. 4:30 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Ok.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:18 PMtech-king says:
ahh. so if you pay to have people nose into your past, you can cut lines?
Jan 17, 2009. 4:20 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Precisely.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:24 PMtech-king says:
sounds like an honor i can pass on, especially with my fear of flying
Jan 17, 2009. 4:29 PMWeissensteinburg says:
And the annual fee is pretty substantial for anyone to pay who doesn't fly regularly.
Jan 17, 2009. 4:51 PMtech-king says:
they have to check your background every year?
Jan 17, 2009. 4:57 PM11010010110 says:
they get paid for it so why not ? and who really needs your background if you pas thru all the same checks anyway ? and you can become a terrorist in less than a year if you wish
Jan 17, 2009. 4:54 PMWeissensteinburg says:
I don't think so, but there's a membership fee each year.

If you guys keep replying to each other, what happens when you hit the minimum column width?
Jan 18, 2009. 7:42 AMWeissensteinburg says:
The minimum width is very thin. People have tried to reach it before.

Well,I broke it on my orangeboard...
Sep 28, 2008. 9:09 AMWeissensteinburg says:
Definitely. My dad travels for frequently work, and our airport had the clear system, so he's enrolled. It allows him to bypass the lines entirely, although it gets him plenty of nasty looks from people who have been waiting for an hour and a half.

One story includes a time when the security unclipped the rope, and just put him at the front of the line. The lady who he got in front of was pretty mad, "Why does he get to skip right to the front?" and the security person gave the worst possible response, "He pays for that privilege." .

Sep 28, 2008. 9:41 AMWeissensteinburg says:
But when you've been waiting in line for hours, and someone else just waltzes up in front of you, "he paid for it" is not what you want to hear.

Ouch, imagine and angry mob at an airport
Jan 17, 2009. 10:41 AMWeissensteinburg says:
Imagine the response to an angry mob at an airport. Ouch.
