Since the overwhelming super-majority of people will never be arrested, IMHO, someone with your colorful history most certainly should be denied participation in a trust based system.

For those who claim every U.S. citizen should be given Global Entry, I live in the real world. In that world, that will never happen. If anyone suggested that it should, the response would be to cancel the program. I prefer disqualifying objectively suspect applicants. That's the real world.
No problem with that. Disqualifying *objectively* suspect applicants. What do you think objective means? In the US, supposedly youre innocent unless proven guilty. That means that an arrest where the charges are dismissed shouldn't count against you. A police officer isn't objective. That's why we have courts, where judges and jury are supposed to be.

But I repeat, if being arrested is the objective measure, then put it on the webpage and say you cant get global entry if youre ever arrested so that people wont pay $100 to be abused by a worthless border patrol agent who has nothing good to do with his life but harass valuable citizens.
