Great, so you do understand! That's exactly it, they are cutting the line.
I also have *zero* problem with that, by the way. As I said above, not all "cutting" Is evil or bad. It's just a definition.

He's not helped by the people who arrive AFTER he got in the PreCheck line but get to go in front of him because they have CLEAR.

OR
2. "People are cutting the line and I don't care if I benefit or not, because it bugs me."
If you choose #2 , then just join Clear. If you don't want to pay to join Clear, then #1 is the way you should look at it, and stress out over something else.
You must have missed where I said I have CLEAR, and have zero problem with how it works. But it's still cutting in line. You guys are getting hung up on assuming that has negative connotations. It doesn't necessarily.
I have no stress over how CLEAR works, I get bugged when words are misused
