I travelled often when I was a consultant with <a href="http://www.manh.com" target="_blank">Manhattan Associates</a> and was often frustrated by the long lines on Monday mornings.</p>
<p align="justify"><a href="http://www.flyclear.com" target="_blank">Flyclear</a> provided regular passengers with a one time security check and a pass to move through the security lines without waiting in line and without any further checks.</p>
<p align="justify">When appointed to my company’s professional services advisory board I often heard other consultants request for reimbursement for applying for this facility ($200). But now it is to no avail.</p>
<p align="justify">Apparently the firms’ investors such as Lockheed Martin and Spark Capital decided not to further pursue the venture after investing close to $54 million on the company. Valued at about $90 million it seemed apparent that the venture will not bring in the requisite subscribers (250,000 to date).</p>
<p align="justify">It seems the closure of this company signals another victim of this wretched economy.</p>
