A company that collected detailed personal information including biometric data on 260,000 individuals as part of a registered air traveler program it operated has abruptly gone out of business, leaving many customers wondering about the safety and privacy of their personal data. Verified Identity Pass Inc. announced on Sunday that it was ceasing its Clear service, which was designed to help air travelers get through airport security checks faster. The service had been available at 21 major airports, including New York's JFK and La Guardia, Boston's Logan and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airports.
