Clear to Cease Operations

6 Lashings
Dropped Jun 22nd, 2009 by Ted Murphy in travel

This past Friday I renewed my Clear membership for 2 years at a cost of about $200. Clear is (was) a service that allowed you to skip through the security line at airports. Tonight, just a few days later, I received this email. I am sad to see them go, it was a great idea. I hate standing in the airport security line with all the donkeys that don’t understand that a watch can’t go through a metal detector.

Another victim of the economy I guess. I wonder if I will get my $200 back?

@Jenn:
Crap. The secret is out!

Quick! Blur out the name and delete my comment!

P.S. We both live on the east coast, so why are the comment times three hours behind?

I’m sure their “senior creditor” thanks you for your payment. I’ll make sure to wear my giant belt buckle next time I see you behind me in the security line

@Craig:
Yeah, something tells me I am not going to see that $200. I wonder if the employee that took the money had any idea that this was going to happen.
