Clear to Cease Operations

Dear Sir,

At 11:00 p.m. PST today, 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.

After today, Clear lanes will be unavailable.

Wow, that was fast! I saw these in SFO for the first time and thought it was a brilliant idea - perhaps the TSA should just retool a bit instead.

In the meanwhile they’ve got some extremely personal details of thousands of regular fliers…

True, but I’m sure they have a rock solid terms of service and privacy policy…oh wait, they are bankrupt now…

They also got my wife’s renewal in May. Hopefully the credit card company will do what is needed to reverse the charge for the rest of the year.
