went through the GE interview process about a week or so ago and in casual conversation with the cbp officer he mentioned a couple of interesting things that I didn't know about the program.


1. GE allows you to avoid filling out the blue forms entirely, unless you are traveling in a party with non GE members. In this case, you and your party still must fill out those forms but can skip to the front of the line entirely.


2. CBP and TSA are apparently in early stages of cooperation with some kind of Registered Traveler program ( a government run Clear Card, if you will) based on the results of the GE program.

3. GE will be expanded and special dedicated lanes set up depending on whether the number of travellers on average surpasses some metric at various airports.



Has anyone else heard this or am I just misinformed?
