My point is I didn't lie about anything. When youre asked a general question "Have you ever been arrested", how much detail should you be prepared to volunteer at the outset?
It all seems totally unfair. $100 for nothing.
See, the thing is..you don't have a right to be in the Global Entry program. Therefore, they can make any reason to say that your risk level is high and not grant you access. It's like when you apply for a job. I can avoid hiring you because of your arrest record, too.
