depends on where you travel, AA doesn’t support Clear so there are airports, such as LGA, where there is no clear at the aa terminal, but if all the airports you use have Clear there is less of a reason though touchless is often quicker than Clear and lately when I have gone thru Clear there have been two options when you get to the TSA agent after going thru clear one for those with touchless where you don’t need to show an id and one for those without where the agent needs to see your id
