I know the Web site says "DHS "Trusted Traveler" cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)" but my understanding is that this (the GE card) is very new so I am wondering if itīs covered by what I quoted.
I would say....Use at your own risk for ID until the TSA website gets updated to include the GE card and then another several weeks after that will it filter down to the "smurf villages" around the US airports. Some will look at it funny, others that are on a power trip, may call the Governor, the FBI, CIA, Border Patrol, SWAT and the dogs on you. Again YMMV...

I just got my GE card today and I will probably hold off on using it for sometime until they get all the smurfs retrained to accept it as a legitimate form of ID.
