California State Sen. Josh Newman is pushing a bill that would restrict expedited airport screening by for-profit companies such as Clear, which charges $189 per year to move passengers to the front of the TSA security line.
Beginning January 1, 2025, a public airport that provides commercial services shall not enter into an a new agreement that authorizes a private third-party vendor that provides expedited security screening to use the standard security lane or the Transportation Security Administration PreCheck security lane.
What this legislation boils down to is that the government and government unions are trying to eliminate a private company that is doing the job more efficiently than the government and making a profit off of doing it. The PreCheck system allows travelers who pay $70 to $80 every five years to enjoy an expedited screening process by submitting fingerprints and a valid ID.
Newman says that his bill does not “ban” Clear, but merely prevents it from using the same security line as everyone else.The bill *doesn’t* ban CLEAR in California airports. Instead, it seeks to move CLEAR customers to separate screening lanes, benefiting all travelers.“The least you can expect when you have to go through the security line at the airport is that you don’t suffer the indignity of somebody pushing you out of the way to let the rich person pass you,” said Senator Josh Newman.
