Since Switzerland has nothing similar to GE, perhaps US GE should be allowed to use the EU-Swiss lines in the spirit of "reciprocity".
[CBP is allowing Swiss Citizens to enroll in GE--but they have NOT offered US GEers anything in return.]
Not sure why there should be reciprocity as excessive wait time to clear US CBP is US's own creation. If there is to be reciprocity, Switzerland should make US passport holders wait 60-90 minutes before allowing them into Schengen.
