Either I'm allowed to use the machines or not?
You are, but certain airports seem to think that it is a good idea to reserve those kiosks for US citizens/residents who do not have GE as a means of expedited processing at the expense of visitors. Another case where, in a group of eligible people, some are more eligible than others.
