ecgz88 asked about machine scanning.
Does this mean, remotely at a road crossing, or by a TSA agent at airport?
Or does this mean, scanning a passport at a Global Entry kiosk upon entering by air?


Machine should know.

I ask, because my spouse is still in limbo (as I was for weeks) with changing and conflicting messages on his TTP Dashboard.

Should he use the GE kiosk, which I understand might result in a "red X", or just use the CBP app instead? In other words, what happens if/when you get said "X"? Just go to longer line, or does it further complicate the process as an attempted immigration infraction?

Hard not to be paranoid with all of this inconsistency and confusion. (and recall it's not paranoia "when they really are out to get you!" Sometimes hard to know the difference, as has been amply illustrated here.)

Also hard to know which forum to post this query to. Our immediate concern is his NEXUS second renewal application, yet our next ppotential use will be the Global Entry aspect.

Any advice appreciated.
