This doesn't even make sense.

Nigeria isn't going to be looking for items that are banned by US customs, they're supposedly looking for security threats.

If they don't inspect out-going luggage, the flight has arrived and the luggage has been off-loaded without incident, presumably that means there was no threat in checked baggage - so there's no reason to conduct a search on arrival in the US for that reason.

Had nothing to do with US customs. Rather was about DL being required to inspect luggage due to US security rules and Nigerian President wanting bags only screened in back via whatever system they use that US doesn't approve of. Partially was to stop Nigerian customs officers from ransacking bags and demanding bribes. Nothing to do with US customs.

Now I'm really confused.

If GE members (or any pax) on flights from Nigeria are being singled out for special searches by CBP on arrival in the US, then that certainly does have to do with US customs. And US customs is not charged with the responsibility of screening bags for aviation security threats, their responsibility is to prevent contraband coming into the US. Searching bags in the US is going to do nothing to deter Nigerian baggage handlers from stealing.

I could understand this occasionally if CBP was acting on semi-specific knowledge, ie, they've been tipped that someone is smuggling something into the country, probably on flight XX. Or perhaps they've got an insider tip that folks are using GE and the hope of reduced bag searches to smuggle.

confusing two different things. 1)The issue as discussed originally about US CBP searching GE members bags upon arriving at US, and 2)completely separate and unrelated issue that someone raised about Nigeria and DL getting into a tiff because DL refused to stop searching bags manually (due to US security regulations) despite order by Nigerian President that bags would only be searched in the back and airlines could No longer require screening.

#2 had nothing to do with number one and just added to confusion.

Just wanted to share my excitement about finally using Global Entry the way it was meant to to work-- using the kiosk and zooming past customs. After 2 years of constantly being "X'ed" by the kiosk, and being sent to secondary, I was genuinely shocked that I didn't get an X on my recent trip back to JFK from Germany. USCIS indeed does work in mysterious ways. Hope to keep this streak going!

They might know something we don't. This past Sunday every single car got searched in the NEXUS line while I was only asked about my citizenship in the regular line.

Sorry to revive an old thread but seems an
appropriate place to ask.
Just arrived in JFK from DXB, I�m a US citizen with GE. Passed thru the new facial recognition GE kiosk fine, the agent collecting the slip before baggage claim asked me normal questions such as- where am I coming from, how long away, did I bring any food back etc. I said no, no food or any purchases, she welcomed me home.

Picked up my one checked bag and was walking out through customs when an agent pulled me aside and asked where I�m coming from, how long I�ve been gone, purpose of travel etc. Then he requests to search my luggage, which he does and finds nothing suspicious because there is nothing.
He then types something into his computer for a few minutes and scans my passport and lets me go.

I just want to know if this will cause any issues for my GE and Precheck moving forward? First time having this random search in my 7+ years of having GE, and countless international trips over the years.

Unlikely to cause problems in my experience of much the same and more.

No issues. If anything may increase chance of not needing to interview again at renewal. The agents have to log a certain percent as random. Late/middle last year CBP got called out for not doing these type of random audit things.

Thats good to hear.
I think what annoyed me even more was that he didn't even try to repack the stuff even close to how he found it. Would leave pouches with chargers/toiletries half unzipped with stuff hanging out, would leave shoes out of the shoe bags they were in etc. Would just shove folded clothes into any open crevice he found. I was going home and was going to unpack anyway but still annoying.
When my bag has been pulled to the side at security check for extra screening the agents are always nice enough to put the stuff back how they found it.

Just had my first secondary at GE at LAX coming in from LHR. I wonder if it was because i was so tired I just pushed the button to take my picture before inserting my passport anyway, got the X and had to wait for about 20 minutes before an airport cop came to escort me to baggage claim to collect bags, then to baggage inspection. Felt bad for wife and kid who had to sit through all that with me. I feel better about the whole thing reading similar experiences here, but still wonder if there's something more on my record that they're not telling me despite the fact that they said this was a random inspection. I have a common name and prior to GE was often flagged at the border and asked if I had a tattoo on my upper left shoulder

So first time using "GE", but it was through DFW. The GE line was closed and we were directed to regular line. We got flagged (maybe me, not sure but we were in a group of 2) for secondary inspection. C #2 was all I could see on the sheet. Anyway, they x-rayed our two checked bags and 2 carryons. Officer noticed I had pills in my carryon so I had to dig them out and show prescriptions. One of the labels had fallen off (the pharmacy one as they can't cover up the drug information) so I had to dig up my CVS pharmacy app to show the prescription (not a controlled substance, it was Zolft/sertraline). And then sent us on our way. He said I needed to make sure I had the prescription label next time (sorry don't know where it fell off during the trip, it was there when started).

So not sure what C #2 means, or what impact, if any, it'll be on future trips. Unfortunately this probably caused us to miss our flight (not really sure because by the time American got our bags onto the carousel, the flight was already boarding, and we still hadn't cleared TSA and made it to the other concourse).

I got secondary at CLT yesterday - my voucher say BCC - not sure what it means.
GE Machine gave me an 'X' which triggered the whole thing. They may not have many foreign nationals to check I suppose.

Was BCC the reference code on the Global Entry slip?

In CBP terminology, BCC generally refers to Border crossing cards, short-term, multiple-entry, nonimmigrant,10-year visas that are issued to certain Mexican citizens for business or tourism. I strongly suspect that does not apply to your situation. Were you arriving from Mexico?

Yes I was coming in from Cancun.
