If you ’ve had enough of removing much of your clothing in front of Homeland Security officer before stepping onto a flight , then the answer could lie in Flyclear . For $ 99.95 a twelvemonth ( plus a one - off TSA vetting fee of $ 28 ) , you get a Clear card , a card with a biometric potato chip that will fast - track you through airport security .
For the first step of online enrollment you will need at least two eccentric of official ID ( your Pizza Hut loyalty card wo n’t do ) before proceed to a Clear enrollment center , where they will take your exposure and biometric details from you . Although they say that permanent foreign resident can apply , a “ US recommendation is powerfully recommended . ”
The companionship claims that its client service is “ extraordinary ” but , from my limited experience , so is that of Homeland Security . Other benefits are fewer missed flights and a “ stress - free , predictable airport experience . ”
As yet , the system is up and running in just a few aerodrome , admit Orlando , San José and JFK pole 7 , and it is not 24 - 7 , but there are plans to dilate this .
