Returned BGI-MIA a couple weeks back and was first through immigration. I had never been to MIA international arrivals before and did not see the GE machine despite looking all over for it.
Felt like an idiot since there was no line anyway. I went to an open agent's station and asked him if there were any GE machines here and he pointed to one hidden behind a structural column. D'oh! Since I was already there I just skipped the machine and had him process me back in.
No questions asked, no secondary review even though this was my 3rd 1-night trip to the Caribbean in 2 months (I got hassled on the previous 2). Don't know if the agent was lazy or if he saw my GE status on his computer, but it was a breeze getting through MIA.
Now I just have to look for the GE machine harder next time!
