CLEAR didn’t save me any time at all. I tried it twice—once at LGA and once at STL—and ended up just waiting in the CLEAR line instead of the regular one, which was actually moving faster. One time, they still asked for my ID to verify my identity, which defeated the purpose. I’m not sure why anyone would pay $199 for a more complicated process. Plus, the staff seemed impatient when the system failed to recognize my eyes.
