Clear Secure Analyst Says Firm Emerging as Winner From TSA Chaos

While record-breaking airport wait times may be frustrating travelers and disrupting vacation plans across the country, the chaos has been a boon for security firm Clear Secure Inc., which has been counting on desperate passengers to boost to its membership numbers, according to analysts at DA Davidson & Co.

The partial US government shutdown has resulted in long lines at airport terminals, which has “given Clear an opportunity to hit the ground running by signing up new members,” wrote analyst Wyatt Swanson, who notes that air travel is expected to pick up later this year due to the World Cup.
