Pretty sure Global entry from international air travel still requires you to pass through TSA security and there’s no TSA-pre on international arrivals, so belt/shoes/laptop have to come off. Trust me, I’ve asked. Global Entry is done by CBP which is different than TSA.
Honestly, I’ve found the new “Mobile Passport” app is faster at getting through the lines than Global Entry. More people are going to Global Entry and limited number of kiosks means there’s a small line there if you’re not first off the plane. You can do the mobile passport app submission while you’re waiting for the plane to taxi to the gate and then walk all the way through. No stopping at the kiosk to do the global entry stuff. I haven’t done Clear, but TSA-pre check is plenty fast for me. Never more than 2 people in front of my at the guy checking boarding cards. > On Jul 13, 2017, at 12:53 PM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have had a global entry card from the moment they became available.
