If you qualify as non-sketchy, are a frequent flyer, and can spare $99.95 per year (includes a $28.00 TSA vetting fee), then "flying Clear" might be a sweet option for you. The Clear service supplies pre-screened travelers with a biometric card used to check in at special Clear security lanes, reducing wait times and missed flights. Once you're in the clear, you can move on to buy trashy magazines at the news stand without feeling razzed from the "regular people" security checkpoint.

Does anyone else see a problem with this? What happens if the bad guys steal one?
Steal one? What stops them from just buying one? This idea has already been debated to death in other forums, and the general consensus outside of the TSA is that it's either a horrifically bad idea if you think airport security works, or it's clear proof that airport security doesn't work and even the TSA doesn't take it seriously enough to protect it.
Wow, yet another way to discriminate based on class. Surely, - this - is good design.
The system uses biometrics, so it would be rather hard to steal the card and use it, unless of course you also hacked off the persons finger for the fingerprint and/or took their eyes to get the iris scan to work.
