PLEASE sign up! The more members in the system, the greater the incentive for CBP to deploy the kiosks at more airports.
If a large majority of people sign up, the benefits of skipping to the front of the line, having a separate line or even using the kiosk all go away. Systems like this only benefit the members if membership is limited. (Just as being elite on an airline is useless if
everyone is elite.
)
(Actually, since I don't intend to sign up for anything like this, I should encourage you all to do so, so I can have the regular passport line to myself!)
