I used my GE again yesterday at IAH (where they have moved many of the machines again, and built a seperate area up front for GE with no checked bags-very nice, though they do check passports to amtch name on receipt to picture everytime now it is still very very fast). They also now have signs indicating in-transit int'l to int'l pax can use the seperate CBP lanes which is nice, though they still must hit TSA again.
Anyway, upon my exit I stopped a CBP officer and asked in passing about the new GE card, and he asked some coworkers and none of them knew about it yet, so word has not filtered down to the local level (and IAH is the busiest GE port of entry per press releases). I'll order the card soon.
Anyone know what this card looks like? There is no picture I presume unless they pull it out of a database from the passport??????
