Summary
Clear, a paid service that allows passengers to skip TSA lines, has introduced new automated “e-gates” at 37 airports across the US. The e-gates use facial recognition technology to verify passengers’ identities in under five seconds. The service, which costs $209 per year, is available at more airports and is expected to expand to all Clear locations by the end of 2026.

The escape is carefully planned.
Clear’s e-gates are designed to speed up the security process, but they’re not exactly a secret escape route. The company has partnered with several airlines to offer discounted memberships, and the service is available at many major airports. The e-gates are just one part of Clear’s effort to make airport security more efficient. And, of course, there’s always the option to upgrade to TSA PreCheck Touchless ID for an even faster experience.
