Clear As Mud

   Two people I respect a great deal for their accomplishments and opinions have two very different viewpoints on the Clear airport security screening program available now in several airports across the country.

   Adam Curry has spoken repeatedly (both in his No Agenda podcast [co-hosted by John C. Dvorak] and on his Daily Source Code about the laughable state of airport security in this country (and abroad) and how he sees the Clear program as tantamount to paying for the privilege of having the government keep tabs on you.

   Yesterday, Brad Feld, another frequent traveler, opined that the Clear program was equivalent to paying $128 to cut to the front of the security line, and seemed to have no qualms about his retinal scan being on record.

   My thoughts on the matter? I'm just glad I travel so infrequently now that I don't even have an opinion on the topic!
