Denver International Airport has joined the growing list of airports that offers the option of reduced wait in security lines through the “Clear” service.
As a card member, individuals are allowed to access designated security lanes which usually have a wait time of under four minutes. Members check-in with a attendant who scans the card, checks one form of government-issued identification, and verifies biometrics information through a fingerprint or iris scan.
According to the Rocky Mountain News, Clear has already signed up more than 2,500 members in the Denver area and hopes to have 50,000 by the end of its first year at DIA. Clear card membership costs $128 and individuals who apply for the card submit two forms of government-issued identification as well as biometrics information. This information is then sent to the U.S. Government’s Transportation Security Administration which assesses each applicant for membership. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
