If you are not they allow you to pass and use the machines. Took about 3 minutes to use the kiosk. Someone held my carry on luggage and assisted me through the whole process. A ticket prints out with your photo, much like the global entry process. You then walk down the hall and have someone exam the ticket and stamp your passport. Total process to less than 8 minutes.

Talk about a breeze! Flew in SAN-MEX with Alaska. Bags came out within 5 minutes of getting to the luggage claim. Re-checked my bagged (I had a mixed ticket with LATAM, but Alaska was able to check it all the way through to LIM). Headed up to security and there was no line. This was all around 12pm in Terminal 1.
To add to this, they only seem to pull Americans out when there's a line. I went through yesterday around 5:30 or so and ended up going through the regular desks because there was almost no wait.
