Clear: Cutting in Line (Legally) at Airport Security

I don't know about you, but cutting in line has always held a certain appeal to me...especially when I can do it guilt-free.  I now get a regular "cutting" fix at both San Jose and San Francisco airports, and I'm told it's made me a kinder, gentler traveling companion. 

I signed up for Clear about a year ago. I wasn't sure whether it would be "worth it," but have to say it's reduced the hassle of airport security significantly.  Sure, they have scads of my personal information...but who out there doesn't these days? 

By dint of having this little card (which costs $128/year and takes several weeks to process), I — and my children under 12 — get escorted to the VERY FRONT of the security checkpoint line, saving dozens of hours of my life each year...and reducing my stress level enormously.  I also get the curious looks of infrequent airline travelers who assume that I'm some sort of VIP, so it confers a bit of "celebrity" status as well! 

When they first started out, it was only helpful at a handful of airports.  Now, however, they have about 18 airports online so if one of them is your home airport and you're a regular flier, I strongly suggest looking into it.

You can also get a discount on your enrollment fee — and reward me for bringing this to your attention — by entering promotional discount code SCA68288.  

So, if you like to cut in line, check it out.  And I'll seeya at the front of the line!
