is meant to expedite the customs process for international travelers arriving into US airports. The program costs $100 for five-year membership, and requires a thorough background check and an in-person interview. When traveling internationally, those granted Global Entry status are diverted to a separate area of customs, and they check in using a cluster of touch-screen kiosks, as opposed to standing in line to speak with border control agents.
I was the first of my family to reach the semi-empty row of kiosks, but was immediately thrown off by the number of machines that were out of order. My father wasn't so lucky. When he stepped up to the kiosk, the machine again flashed"error," but when he brought it to the attention of the officers, they ushered him into a separate room altogether.
