The biggest benefit of CLEAR is if you frequently travel through an airport with a lot of occasional-tourist visitors, like Orlando. Just skipping the line there might be worth it.

For others in this thred, as you note, longer lines in Precheck do not mean longer waits in general. Precheck travelers are overwhelmingly frequent flyers and know the routine.

Contra what some others have said, my experience is that almost everyone I know who has Precheck has it as a consequence of Global Entry or NEXUS. But I’m a doctor; healthcare people are subject to background checks and fingerprinting already, so the vast majority of my coworkers are already clean legally. One old simple drug possession is about all anyone will have, because otherwise they would have run you off before you enrolled in nursing or medical school.
