Unclear what happens to personal info with Clear
More than a quarter million people are wondering what will happen to their fingerprints, social security numbers, home addresses and other personal information now that a company that sped them through airport security is out of business.

Government officials are wondering too.

The sudden shutdown of the Clear program, run by Verified Identity Pass Inc., this week has raised more concerns about who keeps our personal information, how well it's protected from theft and whether it could be sold to the highest bidder.
