Passport Fast Track: UK's IRIS Easily Beats US's Clear.
By Danny Sullivan
Tuesday, 19th June 2007
 
I came back into the UK last week and getting through passport control couldn't have been easier ~ 

I walked into the IRIS eye scanning booth, where there was no line, and less than a minute later, I was done.

In contrast, the corresponding US service called Clear is a joke.

For more on how IRIS works, see my past post, Having An Iris Scan To Clear Immigration At Heathrow. The system works so well that when I heard about the Clear service in the US, I wanted to try that too.

I filled out the online form back on March 5. It took much longer than enrolling with IRIS, which was a fast five minute detour into a little office at Heathrow with just my passport and my eyes. IRIS was also free; Clear costs $99 per year. Still, if it saves me time, I figured that $99 would be worth it.
