I have no idea what the point of global entry is since customs usually takes about 45 seconds now that they just face scan you and identify you as a non-threat or whatever.  Took under a minute at both CDG and ORD.
the point of global entry is why not?
you pay $22 extra over pre check and get pre check plus expedited customs screening

for most of us, this cost is being covered by our credit card perk so why not opt up to GE?

have you considered pointing the camera directly at the sun so it's centered in the frame?

Is that still LDM? Because it looks identical to the Duluth airport (DLH, if you will).

I’m guessing that’s the tail end of a one drive that started at RDM.  So another podunk Oregon airport like Medford or something.

I went 10 nights in london and paris in november with mrs. dave and I just having carry ons. I think we actually did the same in edinburgh and london same time of year. checked baggage is a massive pita international.

Was this a joint agreement or did you have to pressure to pack that small. That's not happening for me ever and there is really no further discussion about it nor something I'm willing to die on a hill for.

Just saw a picture of Mrs. Titola’s bed covered in clothes as she packs, :lol: at the thought of her trying to pack to an overseas trip with carry ons.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

First off all I’d like to thank my father for absolutely brutalizing me on a tube growing up. Lil sd got a lot of stories about it and after a couple mild and then medium runs wanted the gas. Did my best Jesus Christ of nazareth impersonation and said forgive him lord for he knows not what he asks. But HE STILL KEPT ASKING. So I skipped him across the lake on his ass probably 5 full skips. Was so pure. Was ready to go play mini golf from there.

I remember [mention]stunted [/mention]that poor unsuspecting fella being right next to the boat in a tube and then said boat gunning it. Then stunted going about 10 feet airborne as soon as the slack was out of the line.

my global entry was set to expire this week and i’ve been reading that renewal was taking months to complete.  mine took one day, i’m safe and the government knows it.  brag about some stud thing?

the new global entry kiosks that don't require fingerprints and the camera aimed high enough for anyone of any height kick ass. Got to use it this week. It was weird they still had an agent checking passports after though, the time I used the new kiosks prior to that they just called out your name and let you pass.

The wait times that they tell you that they have is exactly why I didn't get it. I don't have 4-6 months to wait.

I mine renewed in like a week. So yeah, I think the wait is to set expectations, and if you're clean as a whistle it goes fast.
