Only a few years ago going through airport security used to be quick and easy. Now with added security concerns coupled with more flyers in the skies, travelers are subjected to long lines and strict TSA protocol. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, between the hours of 2 and 3pm at Terminal A of San Francisco’s SFO International Airport, the average wait time is currently set at 46 minutes with a possible max wait time of 110 minutes. That’s almost two hours spent waiting in line before you ever set foot on a plane.  But thanks to our friend technology, biometric security platform CLEAR is letting flyers cut the line. Chances are you may have seen CLEAR at your local airport as it’s currently available in40+ airports, stadiums, and other venues around the country. Here with me today to discuss the way we think about identification is CLEAR Chairman and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker.
