BrianKrebsI must admit this didn't figure into my decision not to enroll.
S.R.3@briankrebs I'm guessing this "feature" will be fixed soon.
Anne Ominous@briankrebs imo it's been worth it. us customs is so much easier now, and at one of the worst parts of the trip - when you just want ot get home.
and yeah, they always send you emails about a status change but i wouldve thought you'd need a conviction for that.
Eugene@rustoleumlove @briankrebs Maybe it’s a TSA super power like how they can do unlimited detention without habeus corpus at ports of entry and demand proof of citizenship within 100 miles of the border?
Faisal Misle@rustoleumlove @briankrebs Quick nitpick. Customs is after baggage claim where an officer may stop you and ask you if you carry any illegal or undeclared goods. Passport Control is what Global Entry helps you ease.
@faisal @briankrebs you're totally wrong, and i've used it multiple times..
when you pass thru global entry in ORD, you stop at a computer, then you are immediately seen by an agent who hands you a card that says "C" for customs. this card is then given to the next agent at customs, and for me, every time, no stops are made, no questions are asked.
@rustoleumlove @briankrebs the computer is the Border Control part and the one you get to skip that can be anywhere from 15 mins to 2 hours. Customs usually has no line and always comes after border control and baggage claim right as you exit the sterile area.
Noah Cook@briankrebs "Live your life in a way that you never become the target of a criminal investigation" is some seriously under-rated graduation-speech advice.
Mike@UncivilServant @briankrebs that could be interpreted as “don’t ever question or disrupt the status quo”, which is not really the message the world needs right now.
There’s plenty of great reasons to end up in trouble with authorities.

@mikemacleod @UncivilServant @briankrebs French ecologists have recently been arrested in dawn raids under terrorism legislation so, yeah.
@mikemacleod @briankrebs That's fair. I work for a state government, so for me a criminal investigation would be if I behaved with the ethical probity of a Supreme Court justice. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes and all that, at least for civil service.
@UncivilServant @briankrebs and to be fair, I doubt you meant it that way. In this context though - Curt being a security researcher - it’s good to be mindful that it’s easy for folks working in infosec to end up on the wrong end of a bad faith investigation.
Chiclet@mikemacleod @UncivilServant @briankrebs
It works both ways. Many people want claim victimhood of a corrupt justice system to justify their actual wrongdoing.
The balance of probability shows that most criminal investigations are not "bad faith".
It's one thing to be righteous in the face of laws that are unjust, but that is very much the exception.
@chiclet @UncivilServant @briankrebs not denying that when the scope is “all criminal investigations”. But within smaller scopes there are higher rates of bad faith or misguided investigations, and security researchers definitely fall into that category.
Not that there aren’t also examples of “security researchers” operating in bad faith themselves, and indeed the same individual can behave as a white hat in one context and something criminal in another.
But when I hear “security researcher is under investigation” I don’t make any assumptions. Could be they did something nefarious, but there’s plenty of examples where they just happened to embarrass someone, or the person they contacted didn’t understand what the researcher was telling them, etc, and they end up with legal problems.
@mikemacleod @UncivilServant @briankrebs
When I hear "security researcher", I understand that it's often a subjective title that they give themselves.
There is a whole class of cyber criminals, as Krebs could attest, who extort companies while claiming to be "white hat security researchers". And if they don't pay the "bug bounty", they will "disclose their findings" on a public forum.
But you are right, sometimes it is legitimate. And companies press charges when they shouldn't.
That's why an investigation is warranted to find out the truth. Which is why I don't assume anything just because something is investigated. It is crazy how many times charges are dropped after investigation. We should probably not assume guilt just because investigation started.
@UncivilServant @briankrebs yeah the innocent farmers we detained in Guantanamo clearly failed at that.
@UncivilServant Back when I had a paper route for The Washington Post as a young kid, my dad used to use WaPo as a kind of shaming tool, even though he really hated that paper. He'd say live your life like anything you do or say could be on the front page of WaPo, and you'll be fine. Silly me, I guess I took him literally on that one.

@briankrebs What exactly is "Global Entry"?

GreenDotGuy@briankrebs My wife was very confused why her PreCheck took three days and mine took five weeks.
