I must admit this didn't figure into my decision not to enroll.

@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.

@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.
