Does anyone know if any customs sites are still checking that blue CBP sticker that got put in passports when you get (or used to get) GE? My wife got a new passport and stopped by the PDX CBP interview location and the folks there insisted that no such stickers exist any longer and that they would serve no purpose. Now actually I agree with the latter statement but at one point places like ORD would actually look to see the sticker. Does any place still check? I'm a bit concerned about the quality of info from the PDX guys because they also informed her in no uncertain terms that they needed to scan the new passport because it was not possible to update to a new passport on line.

They were then a bit confused when they did that, that the new number was already the one in the system (I had already updated her record on line of course) but still said that it couldn't have been her updating it since only they could do so.
