I was amazed. And Greg didn't rib him about it either.
There are lots of reasons someone who has the financial ability/credits but doesn't have Global Entry. I have no clue if any apply to this individual, but off the top of my head:
  • Prior Criminal Convictions
  • Customs/Immigration Violations
  • Application Issues/Agent in a bad mood
  • Not the worth the hassle of an interview
