WHAT IS THE GAWDD@MN POINT OF NEXUS aside from TB?
THERE IS NONE! IT IS A GAWDD@MN FN FARCE.

+1. One of my biggest first world best peeves, but it ranks up there, right up with people who wear 3 jackets, 2 sweaters, and takes everything off (domestic travel), leading to me wasting significant amounts of time during winter ops in the NEXUS lane, and in general, it's like people who have NEXUS have never gone through security before. Totally aggravating. They either have to hike the fee or have a requirement that if you're getting this low risk traveler status that you actually have to use it X times per year to prevent the infrequent traveler from using it. Yes, I get it's a low risk program....

Yep, we were referring to such buttonholes... not so much the actual napkin fabric or design though. Just the buttonhole. AC had them but for whatever mysterious reason they disappeared.
