When I enquired as to why, the supervisor told me that the Nexus, FAST, Sentri & Global Entry data bases had been compromised!!! He said that the cards were not considered "secure".
Could this possibly be true??? I went to the GOES/DHS web site & there is NOTHING pertaining to this, zero. My sence is that (once again) a TSA supervisor has NO idea what he is talking about & is only 100% misinformed.
Take it from a CBP officer. He is full of unadulterated BS. The only thing compromised is his intelligence for making up a blatant lie as that. Policy decisions are never discussed with the public. NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST are WHTI acceptable documents for crossing the border with Canada, Mexico and the islands. To not accept them as ID for domestic travel is ridiculous.
