    How is this not violating anti-trust regulations? Sounds very collusion-y.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: Yeah, this reminds me of those "bad idea jeans" fake ads on SNL...

    The smackdown will be laid over this someday, and everybody's going to wonder how nobody saw it coming.

    I worked for the man for years at an ALM daily, and realized he was a me-first douche within minutes of setting foot in the same room with him

    As much as I lurrrve the idea of bypassing lines at the airport, Clear never sounded quite right to me. I hate being proven right.

    This sounds even less right. He's a bright guy, but I don't trust him any farther than I can throw his ego, which weighs even more than he does.

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.

    In reply to Steven Brill Fails at Customer Service, Too
    Whew, glad I never signed up for Clear. I don't fly abroad any more, so can someone tell me if the INSPass kiosks are still around (and if they work)? That required no fee, only an hour or two of waiting around for the officer to make an ID card linked to your handprint. Even though the kiosks never seemed to work, you could at least go to the head of the passport line.
