SAN FRANCISCO, May 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Memorial Day holiday marks the happy return of summer. But it also means the less happy return of the busy summer travel season and the incessant lines and waits everywhere.
But at least Bay Area travelers can now beat the lines at the airport with the return of CLEAR to SFO, starting Wednesday, May 23.
CLEAR speeds its members through airport security via exclusive CLEARlanes.
The CLEARlanes in Denver and Orlando airports have been used more than 500,000 times since November 2010. San Francisco becomes the third city in the national network.
CLEAR Co-Founder Ken Cornick is available on May 23, from 10:30am until noon, to explain how CLEAR works and demonstrate how biometrics can speed members through airport security.
Along with Co-Founder Caryn Seidman-Becker, Ken Cornick wished to form an investment holding company – one with the mandate to acquire an operating business that is a franchise asset in a secular growth area. In 2009, they formed Algood Holdings which recently closed on its first successful acquisition of CLEAR, the nation's largest provider of secure, biometric identity verification for airport security through the "CLEARcard." Since he re-launched CLEAR at the end of 2010, CLEARlanes have been used more than 500,000 times.
