Clear airport security kiosks shutting down
June 23, 2009
AVweb: Verified Identity Pass, the company that operates the Clear security-screening kiosks at about 20 major U.S. airports, announced it is shutting down Monday, forcing its customers to shuffle shoeless with the masses through the regular security lines. In a statement, the company said it couldn't reach a deal with its senior creditor to keep going. About 250,000 customers had paid up to $199 a year to zip through using the lines for the segregated kiosks, which used retinal scans and fingerprints to verify the identity of travelers whose security background information was on a database. The company says the private information will be deleted securely but, unfortunately, so will the fees that have been paid.
