*Clear airport security is currently getting a lot of flak from frustrated travelers*

Those who joined the end of a long line for TSA security at JFK or many other airports across the country may have noticed posters offering a way to avoid this frustrating experience with a service called Clear. Launched in 2010 after several stop-and-starts in the aftermath of 9/11 and going public 11 years later, the tech company created a service that allows one to bypass the general security line by submitting biometrics that will be recognized at dedicated Clear kiosks at different airports.Related: Some will soon be able to self-serve themselves through airport security While the company's popularity is what allowed it to go public with a $4.5 billion IPO in 2021, Clear has recently been facing a plethora of complaints from frustrated travelers. A photo captures Clear kiosks at one of the country's airports. Shutterstock 'The value just isn't there anymore,' frustrated traveler says "The Clear lines are longer than the regular lines, with correspondingly longer wait times," one travel influencer wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, during the peak of holiday travel. "Why should I pay to wait longer to get through airport security? The value just isn't there any more." More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane The service costs $189 a year but is often available for free or at a significant discount with different credit cards. "The staff in the airport I worked in were miserable ... and not always that friendly with the customers (I made sure to be friendly and professional!)," one Redditor identifying themselves as a former Clear employee wrote on Reddit. "... But if my CC [credit card] didn't reimburse me for the cost, I would cancel Clear." Another Redditor from the start of the year also wrote that the "CLEAR line is longer than the SkyClub line." (Delta (DAL) - Get Free Report recently brought about the ire of its customers after trying to crack down on overcrowding at its lounges by making it even harder to earn access and bringing down the number of times those who have it can go in.)Recent breaches catch the attention of lawmakers, security experts As with most companies who use biometrics and private customer data, Clear has also received criticism from those with security concerns. The company is currently working on an upgraded facial recognition version that it calls Next Gen Identity+ and describes it as one's "highest fidelity digital identity." While approved by the TSA, several recent security breaches drew attention both to the risks of having someone with ill intent use it to bypass security for a flight and having one's biometric data at risk of hackers. "We can't change our biometrics without extreme measures like burning off our fingerprints or getting extreme facial reconstruction surgery," Adam Schwartz, the primary privacy litigation director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation making a case against increasing digital surveillance, told the Washington Post. "Unlike other numbers that can be changed if we're a victim of a fraud or whatnot, we have our biometrics for life." The issue has also recently caught the attention of some lawmakers who have campaigned against increasing use of biometrics. "Congress needs to take a look at the security side," Congressman Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) told Slate Magazine at the start of December. "The recent failures by Clear are very concerning."

*Rachel Nichols told Dan Le Batard about a shockingly offensive comment a top exec once told her*

Rachel Nichols is one of the most popular names in sports media right now, and that's particularly impressive considering she's made it in an industry dominated by men. The 50-year-old sports host, who is currently doing a bevy of gigs including regularly guesting on FS1's "Undisputed," has been employed by some of sports' and media's biggest companies, from The Washington Post to ESPN and Fox. But climbing the sports media ranks has always had more hurdles for women, even though Nichols claims that there were others like legendary sports columnist Christine Brennan who paved the way for her. On an episode of Dan Le Batard's "South Beach Sessions" that aired on Dec. 22, Nichols spoke candidly about the struggles she faced to get to where she is today. In the hour-long interview, Nichols went through her whole career, though there was one particularly striking instance where she mentioned an encounter with an executive when Nichols was pregnant with twins. She mentioned that she was always wary about having kids because she knew it would be viewed as a hindrance to her career.Related: Dan Le Batard believes Stephen A. Smith is planning a huge move outside of ESPN "When I was pregnant, I waited so long to tell them. I waited so long because I knew that this was not going to be good for me professionally," Nichols said. "I was married for ten years before I decided to have kids, and a big part of that consideration was, 'Do I want a little human in my life?' but also 'How is this going to affect the thing that I've scrapped for, that I've worked for so hard?'" Nichols eventually had to tell her bosses, but she explained that she and her husband were in a stable place where she could easily continue with her career despite the role. "I'm going to have full-time live-in help so I can still get on a plane anytime you want, that's part of why I waited ... and you won't notice the difference," Nichols told her bosses. But she didn't get the response she was expecting. "I had the executive look at me and say, 'This is great, congratulations, I'm so happy for you, it's been so nice working with you,'" Nichols said. The executive continued by saying that he thought she was "not really going to be able to do the job" that she was currently doing if she were to become a mother. Nichols painted the scene happening in the office of the executive who had pictures of him with his family and kids on his desk, which she pointed out after he made his initial comments. "He looked at me and he said, 'Rachel, children need their mothers,'" Nichols said.Related: Matt Barnes speaks candidly about Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor's ESPN controversy Nichols didn't mention which company she was working for at the time of the instances, but she was on her first stint with ESPN when she was pregnant. It clearly didn't deter her career, even though she left in 2013 to work with CNN and Turner, and she returned to ESPN in 2016. In 2022, Nichols had a very public and tumultuous exit from ESPN that involved a leaked audio recording of her from her hotel room in the NBA bubble in Florida. Le Batard prefaced his conversation with Nichols by saying that the two would not touch on the topic during this session, but would hopefully talk about it in-detail down the line. Nichols' conversation with Le Batard did include several other instances of the difficulties she's faced in the industry, including bosses telling her she didn't belong, accusations that she only made it big by having sexual relationships with athletes, and actually receiving sexually explicit messages from supervisors.

*A disproportionate amount of smug Millenials here got either lucky or had rich parents*

Millenials own just 6% of all wealth. During the same time of their lives Boomers owned 22% and Xlers 12%. So objectively Millenials are much worse off than previous generations. Yet when going through this sub there are so many smug people that claim to make 100k+ a year and "bought" their house at age 25 or 30 and how everyone who does not invest is sooo stupid and financially illiterate and they are so smart and have so much skill. I suspect most of these smug people come from rich families where mommy and daddy supplied a lot of financial funds - or they just got insanely lucky and now confuse luck with skill. You cannot invest if you barely make enough money to afford the necessities. You cannot gamble the few thousand Dollars a year you can save on investing because you need the money as an emergency fund. Also there is no guarantee that "investing" and "compound interest" will increase your money. You also might just lose it all. A down payment is not enough. If I save 5000 a year - thats 200 000 after 40 years. After 4 years I might have the 20 000 necessary for a down payment. But the remaining 180 000 I will save until im 70 are nowhere near enough to pay of the house + maintain the house. So "buying" under these circumstances is financial suicide. If you were able to "buy" a house at age 25 or 30 - then you either got a lot of financial funds from your parents - inherited a lot of wealth - or got insanely lucky. For some just the timing of their birth gave them an enormous advantage that had 0 to do with your supposed and inflated "skill". So just stop with the bs about "investing" and "down payment" and " its your own fault for not doing x while you had circumstances against you that made x impossible" and "Im so smart because Im well of and everyone who isnt investing is financiall illiterate and just stoopid and Im so smart". Just 51% of Millenials are abel to afford a house - a LOT of those only because they inherited or their parents were wealthy. If you eliminate these two categories then the number probably drops down to 30% or less. submitted by /u/Tiredworker27 to r/Millennials [link] [comments]
