TSA rules the day and I got tied of paying to remove my shoes and laptops. I didn't renew this year and was hounded by then to renew, including their "Great for Father's Day" campagin.

I'm in my second year of membership with them the first year was $99 and was well worth it because I travel ALOT. But they raised their rates to $179 the second year, and then I got suspicious when they started cutting down the hours of operation. I was wondering "What am I paying for if the Clear lane is closed when I need to use it?" Now I'm really annoyed knowing I probably will not get a refund for the unused time on my card....

I was just about to apply. They had a 6 month $99 trial period -- or as it turns out? an "oops you just wasted $99 trial period". Wonder how they'll handle those who have paid for a year in advance?
