The last two times I used the kiosk it actually took longer than the regular line because I was one of the first persons to arrive and I had to check off things on the screen rather than just hand over the pre-filled blue form.

However, even without a line I love the kiosks because I don't have to talk to the agents. It's worth the $20 a year.

I'm glad to hear that people are having good experiences with the program! I will be taking my first international flight since I signed up for GE, and I'll be happy to bypass the bank of five or six plane-loads of people landing at IAD when I return from LHR... Lets hope they deploy to more airports next year! (cross fingers DEN!)
