July 9, 20223 yr What's a "pastel PFG"? I'm apparently no longer current on my insults. Sounds like something a pastel PFG would say.
October 24, 20223 yr Author I guess this is the go to TSA/GE/Clear thread. WTF IAH? First of all they had 75% of their GE kiosks closed this past Friday which created about a 5 min wait. Just landed a triple from Narita so I assume lots of GE folks. Ok no big deal. No receipt printed anymore. No eye scanner or passport entry. Just a picture and you go through. Now this is where it get interesting. There was another line about 10-15 mins long. Everyone was just looking at each saying wtf is with this? Two CBP officers for GE line. They take your passport and match it with a screen that has everyone's photo from what I can tell. This seems like a step back. How do they even know you have GE? They did reject one guy so I assume they have some facial recognition going on. I asked an officer after I got through about the new procedure and he just said yeah this is the new system. Also IAH the first TSA checkpoint has no pre-check. I went through vs going all the way to a different checkpoint. I assume this is by design that they'd prefer to go full check on everyone.

October 25, 20232 yr Author Anyone use the new global entry app that just launched? Ill be testing it next week on the way back in from central america. Looks like you just take a selfie when you are landing etc and that takes the place of the kiosk all together. Looks like it only works at the following Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Miami International Airport (MIA) Orlando International Airport (MCO) Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) Edited October 25, 20232 yr by midtown
