But the most powerful and wealthiest fly private jets, so they aren't subject to any of the regular airport procedures either way, are they?
Look at it this way, if you can afford to donate $6,600 to a house candidate every two years (current max donations for primary and general election for a single candidate), you're absolutely wealthy enough to get a member of the house of representatives to listen to you and take your concerns seriously (at least for a brief period during the election cycles).
You're also not nearly wealthy enough to be flying private, but you are probably wealthy enough to be paying for CLEAR, TSA Pre-Check, or another option to reduce the hassle of security lines.
The most poor are completely and totally helpless to change things.
It's the group between those extremes that sign up for CLEAR; as a group though they could push for removing the need for CLEAR.
