Actually, a couple of times at LAX (I think this was in the T5) days, Clear person took me to the front of the conveyer belt -- so I did cut in front of PreCheck people who had had their ID's checked but had not yet reached the conveyer. The first time I was so surprised I went with it. The next time (maybe twice more) I declined and merged with the PreCheck line.
