I suspect that with the "285 million records compromised in 2009":http://www.verizonbusiness.com/products/security/risk/databreach/ , most people are probably eligible for one of those credit report monitoring services that companies often provide in apology for letting your records loose. Larry, good point.

As someone who flies frequently, I've often thought about signing up for Clear, but resisted temptation because it wasn't a ubiquitous service. My bigger question is how can there be separate lines for elite or higher-paying passengers in the screening points operated by the government? Doesn't that run contrary to equality among passengers? As for the data theft/identity theft potential with Clear, you raise a good point -- we should be monitoring for regularities. Now, my question is does this mean that constant monitoring for identity theft will become the norm each time a business flames out? Do we run the same risk with Lehman Brothers or AIG or any of the dozens of banks that are now defunct? This is interesting.

Downstairs between baggage claim 7 and 8 I think. They are literally right next to the Clear lanes, and provide the same service. Downstairs between baggage claim 7 and 8 I think.
