He gave me quite a lecture about how I had to have it even at the airport as it could be considered fraud to cross without it and effectively he was "letting me off with a warning" as I didn't have my card. He also told me that GE wasn't as good as Nexus and that I should make a Nexus appointment for my next visit to Canada, even though I've got years left on GE since in his opinion Nexus was a much better program. Since I wanted to make my flight and I'm not a US citizen I smiled, noded and promised to do better. I was so tempted on my trip this summer to show up at YYZ US Immigration with a paper print out of every page of the GE website that indicates GE cards are not required for airport crossings. The US government has got to do a better job of training their people on the rules of this program!
