Global Entry is a scam IMHO. My wife wanted this, I have not found the regular lines to be excessive of late, but she signed me up, or thought she did. She waited for an "appointment" for months, literally, and got one this morning. So, we trapse to the airport and the lady tells us it's ONE appointment, not for both of us. That was not clear at all.
So, she goes in, has a one minute "appointment" and then chit chats a bit. I'm outside, and another couple come in saying they drove 4 hours for their "dual" appoinment, learn the same thing we did. My wife said there is almost nothing to the "interview", they could have slid me in easily in the time allotted.
I was not amused. She wants to get me an appointment and I said "no thanks". An hour and a half wasted, not counting all the time spent trying to get this silly appointment. We'll see in two weeks if she gets through any faster than me enough to make up for the time lost today.
Guvmint..... and of course in the office were 4-5 "officers" doing nothing.
