TSA PreCheck and Clear can both save you time while traveling. TSA PreCheck allows you to go through a special security line where you can keep on your shoes and a light jacket, while Clear allows you to use biometric security kiosks to verify your identity quickly at airports, as well as some venues and arenas.
