You can do the application on line (or in a SC) and then when you complete the procedure at the airport, which only takes a couple minutes, you'll be escorted to the front of the line for TSA aiorport security for your flight that day.
When I decided to try a free one-month CLEAR membership being offered in the MSP SkyClub the CLEAR sign up process in the SC could do fingerprints but not the eye scan. Then, a few days later, when I tried to use CLEAR, the machines could not read my fingerprints (a frequent problem for me, although I’ve learned techniques for making fingerprint scans work) and there were problems with doing the eye scan as well. I finally gave up on the whole process. I was wasting more time trying to complete my CLEAR registration than just going through the PreCheck line.
