I’ve done a lot of traveling over the past years, and for a while I spent a lot of time traveling through Orlando’s airport. What a zoo! All those families with Disney backpacks, Mickey Mouse ears, etc. It’s not that I don’t love Mickey and the gang; I just don’t want to stand in line behind him at the security checkpoint.
Last week I was in Dulles Airport and saw the new CLEAR system at work. CLEAR collects information from you (like fingerprints and iris prints) and gives you a very thorough security screening. Then when you go through airport security checks, you can use the special lane, and zoom right through.
Not many airports have this service yet, but I’m betting it won’t be long. The cost is currently $128.00. If you’re a frequent traveler, it might be worth it. I’m thinking about it. Especially if it comes to Chicago O’Hare.
