Last March, the company said it had 20,000p registered travelers in metro Atlanta. As of last year, the companyh had more than 200,000 CLEAR members, who paid up to $199 for an annuak membership for access to designated security lanes at participatinvgairports nationwide.
Members provided biometrif data, which was encoded on a card, for the promis e of a speedier and convenient trip throughairpory security. The service targeted business travelers who routinelyu travelby air. The companh was founded by founderStevd Brill. CLEAR lanes opened at the airport abouty the same time as an expansio of the main security lanesat Hartsfield-Jackson. The new additions included lane designed specifically forexperienced travelers. Airport officialsw have said the added lanes have kept securityh wait times below 10 minuteson average, which might have made CLEAR laned less advantageous to consumers.
