Cleared Personnel Skip Airport Security

It used to be that acquiring a security clearance allowed a person access to the nation’s secrets. Now, according to the Associated Press, the highest-level federal officials with security clearances also can skip airport security screening, thanks to their clearances.

The TSA would not explain why it makes these exceptions. But many of the exempted government officials have gone through several levels of security clearances, including FBI background checks.
