The registered traveler company CLEAR, launched by entrepreneur Steve Brill, will shut down tonight, according to its Web site.
Parent company Verified Identity Pass Inc. said on its Web site it was "unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations."
Clear began in 2005 with the potential to make airport security quicker and easier for frequent travelers. For an annual fee, Clear would collect information and put something through a government security check. Once cleared, the traveler, in theory, would have privileges at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints. It was originally envisioned as a "trusted traveler" program.
