California Bill Would Put Some CLEAR Users in Their Own Airport Line

The measure would let CLEAR operate at its current locations with no change. But new operations in other airports would need to form a separate line.

A California lawmaker is seeking to require private security fast-tracking services at airports to have their own security line, instead of allowing those who pay for such services to jump to the head of the line everyone else uses.

Sen. Josh Newman says he authored Senate Bill 1372 to create a more “equitable” experience at airports after hearing growing concerns around such expedited screening services.
