Man still uses Clear security line even though TSA PreCheck line has 4 only people in it

The Clear security line had only 4 people in it at the time, but a man was using it. I paid for this service so I'm going to use it!

The man, who was traveling with a coworker, was in Denver on his way home when the incident occurred.

According to witnesses, Phil Adams was faced with a choice as he approached the airport security checkpoint: use the Precheck line which had only 4 passengers in it at the time, or use the Clear checkpoint which was completely empty.

According to his coworker who was interviewed for this story, Phil had spent the $179 annual fee on the membership but had yet to use it.

He was forced to use the fingerprints after fumbling with the machine's inability to identify his iris during the Scan.

He arrived at the security checkpoint and was met by his co-worker who was waiting for him with bags in tow.
