I know this thread isn't about the Clear mess (it's been awful) but if I didn't have PreCheck I would have waited at least an hour to get through TSA, Clear or no Clear.
Edited to add: They don't have one line for the non-PreCheck. There are many, all parallel. You make your bet as to which will move fastest, and we all know how that turns out.
MCO is not EWR, I was commenting on EWR only, hence the Newark disclaimer. And FYI, if isn't premier access checking to the other poster below because I went through the prremier access security lane on United in Newark on 10/12/2023!
