TSA PreCheck at Staples Via CLEAR (and IDEMIA)

I was wandering around my local (Upland, California) Staples on a Saturday afternoon. If I had arrived on a weekday, I could have applied for TSA PreCheck.

Only weekday hours, at least at the Staples on Mountain in Upland.

(No, I didn’t apply for TSA PreCheck in 2017 when MorphoTrak became part of MorphoTrust  (when IDEMIA was formed) and I became eligible for a corporate discount. I didn’t predict a pandemic. Oops.)

Now that IDEMIA is not the only game in town for TSA PreCheck, the competitors are trying to grab market share. Thus the alliance between CLEAR (and IDEMIA) and Staples.

Start at the kiosk.

It appears that you start enrollment at the kiosk, and then complete the process with a “Staples Travel Specialist.”

Incidentally, this Staples is in the same shopping center as an IDEMIA IdentoGO location.
