I'd say I actually saved time with Clear once out of my past ten flights.

I used to be a huge Clear fan but the utility has really declined.
I've not had "Clear Chaos," but the frequency of having an ID check is getting frequent. Last trip I had not only ID check but also a random pat at the WTMD (not a Clear issue).
