No more waiting in never-ending security lines for some travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Last month, Clear was launched at the world’s busiest airport.
The high-tech Clear cards allow passengers to easily and quickly pass through security lanes. The most emphasized benefits of the new option are that it saves time, alleviates stress, maintains security levels and enhances the overall travel experience. Members pay an annual fee of $128 for this luxury.
Many local officials have praised the advancement. 
“I’m pleased to see that this increasingly busy international airport is initiating the fast pass security lanes which will make flying out of Atlanta more efficient while maintaining the security of our airlines,” U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss said.
And, the technology is projected to decrease wait times by “up to 30 percent,” Congressman Lynn Westmoreland said.
For a frequent traveler, especially a business traveler, this seems like a great investment!
To enroll in the Clear program, passengers must visit www.flyclear.com and then visit an enrollment center. At that time, they will provide personal identification information, fingerprints and iris images. Noticeably, they go above and beyond the normal registration measures, but that helps ensure the security level at the airport is not compromised through this innovation.
While this technology was first introduced three years ago, the local Georgia residents and travelers have just begun to reap the benefits. I believe it will prove to be a great selling point, especially for business meetings, conventions and trade shows.
