I have (mild) misgivings about handing out my biometrics to a random company, but the bulk of it was just that this was literally the first time I have ever been in a situation where CLEAR would have saved me more than two minutes over the regular Pre line. I know it's not everyone's experience, but I had never spent more than 10 minutes waiting for Pre before, at any airport, with a median experience of walking straight through, barely breaking stride.

I guess it's pushing 20 years since 9/11, but I also keep imagining that if Pre lines are ever consistently long that the F/elite/Pre combo line will start to be a regular option.
