Clear gives fast security clearance

Since 9/11, taking flights can be quite harrowing as you are manhandled from one security checkpoint to another. The Clear device offers a “fast track” airport security and is currently available at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG), Indianapolis (IND), New York JFK Terminal 7 (JFK), Orlando (MCO), and San José (SJC). All you need to do is hand over all kinds of personal data to the folks at Clear, and when the all-clear (no pun intended) is given, you will receive a Clear card that confirms you’re not some nut from a halfway house who has devious purposes of causing havoc in this great country. The privilege of bypassing long security lines cost $100 a year though. I suggest getting a Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl instead to keep you occupied while waiting.
