Paying for ID convenience does nothing to address the root of the problem: the TSA requiring that passengers show ID. This requirement should be abolished immediately, along with the Shoe Carnival, Liquids Idiocy, and other disgusting, un-American forms of harassment that we face at the hands of this scummy agency. In fact, the TSA itself should be permanently destroyed.

People who paid tribute to Clear in the form of money and personal infomation did damage to this nation: they tacitly approved of the requirement of ID for travel by commercial aircraft. That's what's really reprehensible about Clear and those who allowed themselves to be extorted.
