Is Global Entry now pointless?
I may be speaking from a unique situation, as I have only arrived at DTW from international flights recently... but it appears that they have abandoned the process of stopping to talk to Customs after retrieving your baggage (instead using the system the rest of the world seems to use where you voluntarily declare, with random searches).
They also now have kiosks that seem to operate the same as GE kiosks, available to all travelers.
So, is there any benefit to GE once this becomes commonplace? With a checked bag, the dedicated Customs line was really the only benefit left anyway, as speeding through Immigration was rendered moot by waiting for a bag anyway. Thoughts?
