TSA Implements ID Verification for CLEAR Travelers

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will soon require Clear users to show a valid form of identification, rolling back the current biometric verification process. Previously, Clear users could skip the regular TSA security process by confirming their identity through biometrics at a kiosk. However, TSA will now require all passengers, including Clear users, to provide a government ID to approach the security screening area. This change is reportedly due to a security incident involving a Clear user last year. Clear expects to implement new industry-wide digital identity standards in the future to avoid the need for passengers to show their IDs.
