FYI the code for Denver is DEN, not DIA. As far as CLEAR for myself? I’ll let Ben Franklin speak for me:

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

They have a similar program for frequent travelers to Canada (at least from Washington to BC). However, despite my frequently flying, I really have not had any significant delays getting through security, so this wouldn’t be the program for me. I’m guessing my lack of trouble with security has to do with my local airport and the times I tend to fly (late at night).

So I pay to divulge my profile and private information? What has this world come to?

I am an RT. I love it. If it helps me on 2 or 3 trips a year, it’s well worth not missing my plane. Occasionally I travel during peak times, and it’s saved me more than once. (by making it so I don’t miss my plane that is.)

With you on this one MW.

So if you pay a vendor money you can get through quickly and if you do get on the TWA watchlist you can hardly get off or even find out that you’re on it or why. Ugh.

It has been demonstrated on many occasions that at least journalists and self-destructive college kids can still smuggle weapons on board to prove a point. Clearly further screening has significantly diminishing returns although I suppose some company now has an opportunity to swing a nice profit to fix a problem that was created by the TSA in the first place. Here’s a crazy idea. How about assuming that weapons can be brought aboard no matter how massive the screening and focusing on solving the problems that that would create. Armed air marshalls and reinforced cockpit doors are certainly a step in the right direction in my opinion.
