I hope to get back into more frequent traveling, and I was thinking getting GE would help me a bit with screening as well as clearing Custom on returning to USA. I am a US citizen with security clearance (so the gov't already know about me anyway). So given the circumstance, does it make sense to get one now, even though it's not conclusive whether I'd travel much in the immediate future (1-2years)?

Since it's valid for five years, you could get one and use it whenever you do travel.
