NEW YORK (OCN) — The next generation of security is not far away and it blows our minds. Not only does it blow our minds but it may read it as well.

A polygragh is able to tell if a person is being truthful or not and the WeCU (We See You) will be able to tell what a person may be up by their body language being analyzed by the system.

Will all this new technology create long waits to be screened? This may be a posibility and unfortunately, Clear Lanes is no longer available since 2009.

Clear Lanes Are No Longer Available.

At 11:00 p.m. PST on June 22, 2009, Clear ceased operations. Clear’s parent company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc., was unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations. Verified Identity Pass regrets that Clear will not be able to continue operations.

How is Clear securing personal information?

How is Clear securing any information at the airports?

Each hard disk at the airport, including the enrollment and verification kiosks, has now been wiped clean of all data and software. The triple wipe process we used automatically and completely overwrites the contents of the entire disk, including the operating system, the data and the file structure. This process also prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.

How is Clear securing any information in central databases and corporate systems?
