At 11:00 p.m. PST on June 22, 2009, Clear will cease operations. Clear’s parent company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc. has been unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations.
this stinks. Heading the airport today...now, earlier than I had planned. Having not traveled as much this year, I was not going to renew in the fall, but this still stinks. Heard from several people that just renewed for the year.
Perfect candidate for a bailout: a company too small to fail.
total bummer. i have used clear since it started and it is awesome. gonna miss it. i hope TSA comes up w something to replace it
This doesn’t surprise me. After all, we can’t have some people treated differently from the rest of the herd.
Law abiding citizens should be able to get the equivalent of a “Clear” pass without paying for it. You know, kind of like being assumed innocent. Instead people are griping about not being able to pay for the presumption of innocence?
Thank goodness I didn’t just renew. For those who did, you have 60 days to dispute the charges with your credit card company. The others are just out of luck. Funny, they were just sending me emails about what a great Father’s Day gift this would be.

Next time you're undressing at the TSA checkpoint, think about how much unscreened "trusted" cargo has been sitting under you on your flights.
