I was told every 5th person would have to show ID/boarding pass. I was told this before Clear staff knew what kind of boarding pass I had (electronic v paper).
TSA checker looked at the Clear person as I was presented and said "Is this the fifth one?" TSA checker looked at ID, scanned the boarding pass.
Originally I was a tad miffed by this, as it certainly degrades the value of Clear a bit, but then I decided the it wasn't a huge impact. But I recognize the slippery slope at the same time...

Clear at AUS in the typically long single Pre check line for the AA gates. Or you can just walk down to the three pre check lines near the Delta gates and breeze through.

Slow experience at SFO. Was required to show my BP to TSA and the Clear employee brushed it off as a "recent change but it's real easy!"
What the heck is the point of the biometrics then?

Does anyone know if CLEAR can by used to get through the security line on an outgoing international flight at IAD or is it strictly domestic? I contacted them but am getting conflicting answers. One said no, the other said yes you can. I took a look at terminal map for IAD and CLEAR is offered at most check points before going to the international terminal. Can anyone clarify this?

Glad to see that CLEAR is now in operation at Oakland A's games! ^ Now if we can just get a CLEAR lane at OAK airport, which shares the same BART stop...
I am still steamed that CLEAR was kicked out of IAH.

For what it's worth, I had a paper boarding pass issued at a kiosk at the airport (I seem to recalls someone saying whether or not one was checked had to do with an electronic vs. paper boarding pass, but I have no idea.)

You might be confusing things. You'll get through security with clear but Clear has nothing to do with boarding/checking in (you're initial question was about boarding). You'll still need to show whatever is asked/required by gate agent/check in counter for your flight like showing your passport.

Indeed it can. But only some international carriers participate in Pre-Check. I'm not sure of the IAD layout and whether you can use Clear if your carrier doesn't participate in Pre-Check.

Just landed/arrived at SJC. On exiting, saw that the Terminal A PreCheck line is overflowing past the end of the roped lane. Good day to have CLEAR.

The clear rep took my ID and phone up to the TSA PreCheck stand on 04/04 at DTW. I was pretty miffed and sent a nastygram to their support/feedback before my flight. There's no reason that I should have to give up control of my unlocked phone for the screening process (not to mention having that phone handed to a government agent in an unlocked state). I have nothing to hide, but that's unacceptable. I got a standard "we're sorry to hear that" reply. I plan to decline to give them my phone on my trip this week (if asked) and will report back.
