To me, if they are planning to do this each time, it defeats a benefit of GE (fast and easy entry)
I would agree it defeats the purpose. Never seen an agent by the kiosks in the couple of times I've used it so far (IAH and SFO) and there was no one to present it to that I recall. Just walked from the kiosks to baggage claim and then on to Customs
