[@ariccai6527]

Denver airport’s clear line has its own dedicated TSA line. And let me tell you, it is not better. It takes longer to get thru the clear line than the normal line when it gets busy.

[@AskSebby]

Thanks for the data point! Agree, sometimes at SFO the TSA Pre-check line is empty while there's a line for Clear.

[@the0000alex0000]

and people still line up for clear... i am absolutely thankful for these morons actively making the regular precheck line faster.

[@couz96797]

What’s funny is sometimes even the regular TSA line can be shorter than precheck or clear.

[@ryanshannon6963]

@@couz96797 At least with TSA PreCheck if the line doesn't make sense the attendants/agents always tell my wife and I, "this line is faster". "Thank you, sir/ma'am!" I remember when Clear launched a few years ago and I took a hard pass on that. I know they're just trying to sell data and *probably* feed some facial recognition algorithm and I'm just not into that. My main question at the time was how they had some integration with TSA database on all persons that traveled. I couldn't work that out for the life of me. After I learned they basically hijack the TSA line I was like, "oh, it's a privatized TSA PreCheck? F*ck that."

[@ryanshannon6963]

A couple years ago my wife and I flew into and out of DEN with some friends to go snowboarding/skiing. When departing DEN to return home they arrived at the airport about 30 or 40 minutes prior to us. We had the CSR at the time and I already registered our PreCheck from a year prior. The TSA line at DEN was *crazy long*. It was starting to wrap near these elevators and escalators like a bathroom line at a football game. Absolutely crazy. We started waiting in the back then I saw an agent and asked if this was the Precheck line. They said precheck was past the line and to the left. We waited maybe 10 or 15 minutes, tops (with I think 3 or 4 stations open). Since we didn't have status with non-united *A at the time, we just waited at the bench for like, nearly an hour before they got through. What's great is we literally walked past my friend and his wife to the precheck line and I stopped to tell them, "We have precheck so if we finish before you we'll just wait past the gates". His wife was like, "Whaaat??" while my friend laughed and said, "Scum class" (as a Top Gear reference when they made their trains from old sedans to work on rails as a cost effective means to replace the British railway system). kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIHJd2R_m9qJpMU&ab_channel=TheHAZMAT221

🎮The reasoning for the Clear ban is idiotic. It's like saying we should ban First class because they get to board first and is only available for those that can afford it. Duh, that's how premium products work. Same goes for food, housing and cars.

[@chewie94116]

The politician who introduced the Bill for Clear was upset because people were cutting in line in front of him. He wants Clear to have their express lane and a dedicated TSA agent to work with CLEAR only. Sounds like it will cost more money and there are not enough people using CLEAR. A lot of times when I fly especially the late hours, CLEAR is not even open, so I have to use the regular TSA line anyway.

[@KeyKEYadventures]

Delta is the 3rd most flown airline out of my home. Because of this, I’ve been getting upgrades almost everytime I fly just from having the Delta Business Reserve! White version looks freshhhh

[@ProfessorWambsgans]

🎮 1) Cards made of unique material are cool, but not enough of a reason to apply for me. 2) Maybe a Hilton card made from leftover continental breakfasts? "Sad waffle iron Surpass"? 3) I haven't used CLEAR yet, but if they get their own lane, as you described, that would make more sense and be less cluttered. As a travel normie it always feels like there's too many stations and unique lines in every terminal.

[@BronxY2k2]

1. Delta card looks fire 2. The delta airline cards, high end only makes sense. 3. Clear BAN sounds good if they allow us a separate line 4. Xbox card doesn't make sense.

They’re completely different. Clear is essentially legalized petty corruption as you’re paying a private entity for better access to a government service. Disney fast pass is a company selling an enhanced version of its product for a higher price.

Thanks Sebby! I got the last limited "black" Delta Reserve metal card watching your videos, and now I've ordered the most recent one, from getting a KZbin alert for this video!

[@AskSebby]

Nice!

[@ultramet]

Tbh I use Clear at LAX and they have their own Clear screening at the United Terminal (Terminal 7). They don’t have enough Clear employees and many times the TSA Precheck line is faster. It is even worse at EWR during primetime. TSA Precheck is often faster. So this ban may be based on the SFO experience mainly which will doom it to fail.

It's a big loss for clear - losing up to 80% capacity for a dedicated lane - basic Operations Management 101 on Queuing/ Waiting lines.

Politicians don't want to pay for CLEAR AND don't want people to cut in front of them. If politicians get CLEAR for free, I guarantee you they will not complain.

They literally black listed me for no reason on sign up bonuses. So I got the Dela reserve 747 card coming even though no bonus after getting the black listed message. I'll probably cancel after receive the card just so I could get it and not have to pay anual fee.

[@mikecumbo7531]

What gives California the right to interfere with interstate commerce?

[@doujinflip]

It’s not necessarily interstate, the process of clearing security all happens within that terminal and passengers often are boarding the constant stream of flights between the Bay Area, LA, and SD. Unless you consider practically any activity as theoretically interstate, which has ramifications for all those state sovereignty arguments.

[@rcalvoiphone]

I'm a sucker for those delta plane cards. I have the black one and I ordered the new white one the second it came out. If they keep doing this I'll never be able to cancel this card. FML...

[@jwil4286]

Given that the federal government has a lot of control over US commercial airports, I doubt that California’s CLEAR regulation will hold up in court, for the same reason that states that preempted mask mandates couldn’t apply that preemption in airports (yes that mandate was struck down in court later on, but on different grounds).

Clear at LAX was awful, the employees were hella rude cuz they made everyone have to redo their scans last december and if you didn't follow their instructions to the T, then they were screaming at you. It was so chaotic for no reason and I wasted so much time having to wait to rescan when I could've gotten through precheck in less than 5 mins. It really makes me rethink renewing my green card since it is pretty much useless if you don't use up the clear credit. I think I only benefited from clear once where it actually saved me time. On another note, I REALLY want that delta reserve card, I just wish I could justify it. If I had any of the other delta cards then I'd probably jump on it but I don't want to miss out on the other SUBs by jumping straight to the reserve

[@jarrod499]

I think part of the issue in the California Bill is that when clear was started part of their pitch to airports was that they were about streamlining operations in reality. The vast majority of the value of clear comes from the line cutting feature. if the point of clear is for people to pay to cut in line the question is why not let them bear the full costs of running the line they’re cutting in makes sense to me

Speaking as a gamer…. The Xbox card is a weird one. It’s specifically for the Xbox Store/Microsoft Store. That makes it hard and annoying to use for anything other than an Xbox, because while Microsoft does offer PC games, most PC gamers use Steam or Epic as their store for games. I think if they made it 5x back on Microsoft/Xbox, 3x on all other gaming, with 1.25 cpp on purchases on the Microsoft store, 1cpp as a statement credit on other gaming purchases they’d have made a must-have gamer card. As it is it’s not just niche from a general card use point of view, it’s niche from a gamer point of view. Xbox just isn’t that exciting.

[@carol-wg3zr]

🎮 Thanks Sebby! I'm CLEAR customer and CA is mainly where I fly to...hope they make it work!!!!!

[@BobBacheler]

I question the value proposition of Clear. I have Clear, and it is more of a novelty as line for Clear TSA is almost never faster than the TSA line. Many times it is longer. Think of the advantage of waiting in the Centurion Lounge line at LAS to get to TSA. 🎮 I would NEVER pay for CLEAR. I would never encourage my son to get the XBox card either.

[@AskSebby]

Clear is a hit or miss. Sometimes it saves a ton of time, other times it's longer than the regular TSA Pre-Check line.

[@Tulku]

As a gamer.. LOL. There’s no sense in this card except for those who keep micro-transactions alive. Edit: I don’t have an XBox because they don’t have so many exclusives. I do have Switch and PS but even if those companies put out a card, it’s a pass.

I don't travel enough to make the Delta Platinum or Reserve valuable to me. I carry the Delta Gold and Citi AA cards for the free checked bags and, in the case of the Delta Gold, the 15% point redemption boost. The limited edition cards are cool, though, and I like seeing what they come up with. As far as a CLEAR ban goes, the friction point is folks paying to visibly cut in front of others. CLEAR having its own line would help, but unless the program evolved to include TSA Precheck, there would have to be two fully equipped, fully TSA-staffed CLEAR lines - one for prechecked pax and one for those who didn't pay THAT fee. I hope they don't shut it down entirely, but if they do, I'll survive. GE/TSAPC is one of the benefits I'd pay for if I had to. CLEAR isn't.
