Notably missing from the article is a comparison of CLEAR’s failure rates and severity against the TSA’s. Admittedly, CLEAR doesn’t handle as many travelers as TSA so the data would need to be extrapolated but based on what I’ve read over the past decade, I suspect the TSA’s performance would be much worse.

For example: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/11/13/us/tsa-failures-box-cutte...

The truth is our entire system for airline security is theater and doesn’t actually make us safer. A number of other countries have solved this problem successfully, the US chooses not to. I wish more time was spent on fixing that mess instead of pursuing CLEAR.
