Except for the wide-angle camera they use to take your picture - it will show you what you will look like after you've aged 20 years!
I looked into that, unfortunately I don't live close to the Canadian border (Southern Cali) and I don't have any immediate plans to travel to Canada. Thank you for the suggestion!
And I'm interested to see how my picture turns out on the Global Entry card...he made me take my glasses off and I'm blind as a bat so I don't even know if I was looking at the webcam hahahha!
