Anyone of you heard about this?
idea is that you're pre-screened, so security goes faster. Here's what they have in store:
Cost is $100 per year. Would be well worth it if you travel a lot except that none of these things are actually implemented or approved yet, and -- and this is the kicker -- you still have to go through the TSA screening process, too. According to the web site:
What the hell is the point? Seems like it's just adding a step to the process to me. Whoopdefreakingdoo. Complete waste of money IMO.

1. The platform you stand on contains a shoe scanner that, within several weeks ? when the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approves it ? will scan your shoes looking for dangerous material. This will allow most Clear members to leave their shoes on.
2. The kiosk contains a device called a trace detector that performs a separate check for explosives residue. TSA is currently testing this as well. If approved ? and we hope it will be in the next few weeks, if not sooner ? it should allow you to leave your suit jackets or other outer garments on.
3. We are also evaluating additional equipment to enhance the X-Ray process used for your carry-on bags, so that you can leave your laptop in your bag and possibly carry liquids without further inspection. Unlike the shoe scanner and trace detector, this improvement is at least six to nine months away, maybe more.

Will I still have to go through the x-ray?
Yes. Once you have completed Clear verification, you will proceed to TSA screening, including a walk-through metal detector and x-ray screening of your carry-on luggage.
