Well, maybe one has to get a burner just for this purpose.
What makes the two of you think that you have to hand your phone over to a CBP officer? Once the submission is made, the phone is going to display a receipt,
a five digits number and a photo,
which is then shown to the CBP officer. The latter is no different than when using a
Mobile Passport Control App and showing the CBP officer the QR code. My hunch is that your GE information will appear on the CBP officer's tablet at the exit from the GE kiosk area, just as it is displayed when a passenger uses a facial recognition kiosk.
After the photo has been submitted, the traveler will receive a receipt on the app. Once the traveler arrives to the primary inspection area, they can bypass the Global Entry portals and go directly to the CBP officers to efficiently process their entry into the United States by showing their mobile receipt.
