How Clear is breezing beyond the airport | New York Next

Anyone who’s been through the TSA security line knows air travel can be a slog.

Speeding up that process was at the core of Clear’s mission. The expedited security program already operates at dozens of airports and venues, such as Brooklyn’s own Barclays Center, where physical ID cards can be swapped out for biometrics.

The tech company now has its sights set on everything from doctor’s offices to drug stores – and even Costco. “Interesting, a company like Costco already asks you for a card to get in. They’re looking at identity, and they have a very low fraud rate because of it,” Clear co-founder and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker explained.

The working mom-of-three sat down with The Post’s financial correspondent Lydia Moynihan at Clear’s New York offices to share what’s next for the cutting-edge company – from Health Pass to a sci-fi-worthy “Lane of the Future,” where a simple selfie could make any check-in process a snap.
