### Facial Recognition, Clear Program Resurrection

- **Episode:** [255: Radioactive Butts](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/255-radioactive-butts.md)
- **Published:** 2010-11-25
- **Time:** 44:19–45:55

A report from a physician at the National Institute of Health (NIH) suggests that the government may be saving facial data from airport scans for recognition technology. Additionally, the "Clear" biometric pre-screening program is noted to be returning to airports like Indianapolis. The hosts characterize these programs as "first-class slavery," where citizens pay a fee to wait in a shorter line for the same invasive screening.

### CLEAR Biometric Airport Security Program Ceases Operations

- **Episode:** [107: Health Insurance Dot Gov](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/107-health-insurance-dot-gov.md)
- **Published:** 2009-06-25
- **Time:** 12:05–13:52
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/107-health-insurance-dot-gov/chapter/clear-biometric-airport-security-program-ceases-operations.md

The CLEAR program, which allowed travelers to bypass standard security lines using biometric data, officially ceased operations on June 22nd. The shutdown is attributed to the TSA's refusal to continue approving the company's devices, effectively ending what the hosts describe as a failed "concierge service" for airport security.

### Radio Programming, Pirate Radio Ships

- **Episode:** [87: Knights of the No Agenda Armory](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/87-knights-of-the-no-agenda-armory.md)
- **Published:** 2009-04-08

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/87-knights-of-the-no-agenda-armory/chapter/radio-programming-pirate-radio-ships.md

The hosts discuss the "lost art" of radio programming, focusing on the pace and flow of music sets. They reference the film "The Boat That Rocked," which depicts the 1960s North Sea pirate radio era, and compare it to their own efforts with the No Agenda stream. They aim to create a virtual "club" atmosphere that contrasts with the sterile, automated programming of corporate radio like Clear Channel.

### TSA Black Diamond Self-Select Lanes, Expert Traveler Program

- **Episode:** [38: Down the Rabbit Hole](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/38-down-the-rabbit-hole.md)
- **Published:** 2008-07-07

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/38-down-the-rabbit-hole/chapter/tsa-black-diamond-self-select-lanes-expert-traveler-program.md

The TSA has launched the "Black Diamond Self-Select" program at 21 airports, including Seattle, Oakland, and Salt Lake City. The program categorizes travelers into "Expert," "Casual," and "Family/Special Needs" lanes to improve checkpoint efficiency. There is speculation that these lanes serve as a marketing tool for the private Clear registered traveler program.

### Airport Security SS Markings and Clear Program

- **Episode:** [14: Neelis Kroes Is Hot](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/14-neelis-kroes-is-hot.md)
- **Published:** 2008-01-27

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/14-neelis-kroes-is-hot/chapter/airport-security-ss-markings-and-clear-program.md

An incident at airport security involves a traveler receiving an "SS" (Secondary Screening) notation on their boarding pass after a perceived negative interaction with a document checker. The traveler claims to have bypassed the additional screening by simply not showing the marked pass to the next officer. The segment also critiques the "Clear" registered traveler program, likening its representatives to carnival barkers.
