As everyone knows by now, Clear—the program that allows you to zip through airport security—has ceased operation. As a Clear-card holder, I’ve had mixed feelings about its benefits, not to mention rationalizing its expense. My departure gate is SFO, which is one of the easiest, most organized TSA airport checkpoints in the country, so the lines move quickly there. However, the Clear attendants in San Francisco were consistently rude, and the experience was always a hassle, as my eye scan never worked nor did my thumbprint—which they insisted I try first. And, during the entire time of my membership, I never flew back to SFO from an airport with a Clear lane. So, was the “time-savings” worth the $199 fee?
    Refunds, anyone?
