Hadn't seen this before, but I just got it in a Privium/FLUX email. It has links to most of the larger airport layouts with GE and where the kiosks are all located. Probably of interest if you're arriving to a new airport (like I did at MIA for my first GE experience and got lost as I was herded into a clearance area that didn't have GE and had to fight my way through crowds back out to get to the kiosks).

Also highlighted:
"12 August 2010
After 1 year pilot, US and Netherlands have granted FLUX the status of permanent program.

Next step is expansion of FLUX with additional countries. For you as a traveler this means more international airports with fast border passage. Participation of Canada is currently being worked on.

Canada has shown an interest in FLUX since Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is an attractive gateway to Europe. The country already has a national program called Canpass and has a bilateral program with the US called NEXUS. Both programs making offering fast lane facilities to frequent travelers. For automated border passage the US uses fingerprints. The Canadian programs use iris recognition just like the Privium program in the Netherlands."
And annual combined FLUX/Privium fee being reduced from 214 euros to 194.
