The current problem in DEN is that they have had only two TSA Pre-Check x-ray machines running. It causes the screening lines to back up, which then forces CLEAR customers to wait until TSA allows them to proceed into the screening line. It definitely appears to be faster to go directly through the Pre-Check line.

Hey I just got CLEAR for free on the AMEX gold like a lot of people....
Anyway ---- sounds like American Airlines hates CLEAR, ..... at O'hare/ ORD ..... the "Clear Terminals" are only set up in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Not Terminal 3 where American Airlines is.
HOWEVER, it is a 5 minute walk from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 once behind TSA/ security.
Is it possible/ does it make sense to just go through Terminal 2 using CLEAR --- avoid 15-30 minutes of a security line certain days -- and then walk 5 minutes to the other terminal? I'm just not sure if security makes a stink about it, or if CLEAR works with an American Airlines boarding pass, or what.

You should be good, all else equal. You enroll online and arrive a few minutes early for your flight, get scanned and entered into the Clear system and then get escorted to the front of your TSA line (regular or PreCheck) and be on your way.

CLEAR in Atlanta
Is anyone else wondering if it is worth it? Each time I use the Clear + precheck line I wonder if my picture should be in the dictionary next to the definition of insanity (as I keep doing the same thing over and over but never get a different result). I pick a person who enters the regular security line and almost always see that person get through the line before I do. I do give credit to one Clear agent who (on a Monday) finally started telling people to go to regular TSA precheck because that line was faster. More often though there is no measure of how long the line will take. My most recent experience - when I got to the front of the line, the Clear rep said "we are opening another line for Clear!" But when another pax noted that TSA had just let the regular line folks go into the (now) two Clear screening lines, the Clear guy exclaimed "Yes, but that line isn't Clear!"
Maybe I just need to suck it up and start taking off my shoes and going back to taking out liquids. Or realize that Clear gives away too many memberships and dilutes the value of the concept (something I mention in every survey they send me).
Yes, these are first world problems.

If you look at the pre pandemic posts you find CLEAR in Atlanta is slower than regular Pre during peak times. Sounds like that is still the case.
CLEAR is like a bouncer let you in at the front of the line at a club; only works if it is exclusive. But in this case, everyone at ATL has CLEAR rendering it worst than a normal line.
