Verified Identity Pass, which operated the CLEAR service that helped registered travelers zip through security checkpoints at more than a dozen airports in the U.S., announced it is going out of business, according to this ZDNet blog. The company cited an inability to negotiate an agreement with a large creditor to continue operations.
That was also confirmed at http://www.flyclear.com, where this simple message was posted: “At 11:00 p.m. PST on June 22, 2009, Clear will cease operations. Clear’s parent company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc. has been unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations.”
