I haven't had the time to parse the Clear thread, but did they discuss that Clear personnel will forcibly cut the conveyer belt line for you? That means in DEN, where the conveyer belt lines are typically so long that they routinely shut down the TSA ID checkpoint so as not to confuse who has already been checked vs. who is waiting to be checked. Skipping that line is priceless, and the elite line doesn't do that for you. Also, did they discuss that Clear is funding shoe scanner R&D? Once that's complete, Clear users will not have to remove their shoes when going through security. As a germophobe, not having to soak up everyone else's athlete's foot as I go through security is a huge plus for me -- enough that I would pay for Clear if that were the only benefit.
