I can attest to this. It was stupid easy. If I'd known about it beforehand I would've brought my other passport because my main one is a little fussy with those automated machines. Works fine in the GE machines though. Go figure?
Also, I think CBP are rolling out automated machines similar to GE. There were a lot of them when I flew back through Boston. Maybe they'll come to JFK soon?
2 worst immigration experiences I've ever had were Munich during Oktoberfest and Belize City. Terrible.
