    Default Grand total time passing customs

    Wow, I bet I got my luggage, and breezed through customs I swear to God in less than it took me to get to the custom people themselves. (Coming in twice from El Salvador recently.) Only, there was NO LINE! Got off the plane, got my luggage, and took it right passed customs. They only asked me if I brought any food items. I thought to myself, "Why pay for a global entry pass when going through customs was like nothing". And I'll leave it like that.

    Do you intentionally try to irritate people that make decisions different than yours?

    Ok, fair enough, I suppose that was a bit abrassive. I corrected it to reflect a more political correct point of view. Point I am making is that in my case, both recent runs abroad gained me little in respect to wanting a global entry pass. I saw no justification for having one with the speed it took me to blow by customs. Whenever I travel again, I will pay particular attention to my experience if I encounter the contrary. Like I'll post something like, "Wow, I could have used a GEP since I stood in line for minutes upon minutes". I posted this experience in case there are some thinking about buying the pass. I don't care who buys what here. That is your call. Don't think its worth the time and money to get a pass that does so little.
