Forget precheck had if for 5 years let it expire. CLEAR is the way to go for sure. I fly normally 25+ times a year half of that international. With CLEAR they scan your iris and then they walk you to the front of the line past precheck and to a dedicated body scanner line. I have never arrived to an airport more than half an hour early and usually pass through security in under ten minutes most of the time under 5. It’s $175 per year for CLEAR they are a “private” security group the TSA has hired its for the upper middle class and higher to buy privilege and it is worth EVERY PENNY best $175 bucks that could be spent if you fly a lot expense it as T&E if you are a small biz or get your Corp to comp it as T&E. You won’t regret it. Thanksgiving 2019 on the day before turkey day at DFW the line for security was out the area and down the concourse and at least 2.5 hours long. The CLEAR line was 20 people deep.and only because they were signing people up right at the eye machines with credit cards. Even with 20 people they walked the entire group past the 2 hour line to the scanners and we were all on the other side in 10 mins. Such the win.

Heh - thanks! I would go for that but I fly out of a smaller market that doesn’t have Clear in their airport. (Though I’ve seen it in the larger ones)
