We need a Federal law that says anything the government isn't allowed to do directly itself, it also isn't allowed to buy from a private company.

Clear’s Use of Facial Recognition could be a TSA workaround to the law
(seattlelunarsociety.org)
Some congresspeople's palms got greased heavily for Clear to be able to even operate.
A private company that allows people to pay them to skip to the front of the line? Ridiculous.
It's not legal for the government to take it. So instead, we'll pay to give it to them.
If CLEAR doesn't do what the TSA says they can't operate at all tbf
TSA says jump CELAR says How High while also hopping in place.
TSA hates Clear and their steps into facial recognition are meant to, among other things, eradicate them. Clear is already living on borrowed time and their value proposition has already been largely eroded by traditional precheck. CAT-2 is the coup de grace.
