Interestingly the Greater Orlando Airport Authority at Orlando get 18% of the $79.95 and a cut of the revenue from any other Airport this Clear System is installed in in the future.

I suggest this is all about money and has very little else. I for one will not be contributing to this scam.
Do you have a reference for the Orlando revenue sharing? That'd be interesting to see.

This sounds different than Registered Traveller in DCA. The main benefit is: if my ticket is stamped SSSS it doesn't matter AND I get to go to the front of the line. Still have to take shoes off though (TSA Sucks!).
