He said something like "You really want a stamp?" and when I replied "Yes please if possible." he kinda looked at me like I was nuts, stamped my passport and said "Welcome home."


Just curious was the dedicated line for GE open yet? ords said in a thread in the Chicago forum that they would be using the center exit and signing would be going up soon. When I was there the only lane open was the far right one but seeing as we were the only flight there at the time I think I waited all of 90 seconds in line. The officer took my slip, barely glanced at my passport and sent me on my way. Overall I was very impressed with the GE process. Even with a quick stop in the restroom from plane to dropping my bag at the AA counter outside the customs hall was under 10 minutes.
